"The 12 Days of Christmas Revisited" (Secret Santa 2005)

Two Christmases ago, each member of our family was the recipient of the gracious gift-giving generosities of a "Secret Santa" who disappeared from our doorstep for 12 consecutive evenings leading up to Christmas day. Included in our email "thank you" we decided to to re-write the lyrics to "The 12 Days of Christmas" to highlight the gifts bestowed on us by "Secret Santa" that Christmas of 2005. This revisited song, shared with you below, now also serves as our memorabilia of that extended period of Christmas blessing.
