Fun twist on the Twelve Days of Christmas song

Just wanted to share a little rewrite I made to a great Christmas Song. I changed the words of the Twelve Days of Christmas to The Twelve Days Till Christmas. We did this as a skit last night at a Relief Society Party. It was really fun and easy to prepare.
The words are all sung to the same tune until after KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL, then they are just spoken as each part gets to the point where it changes from the initial task.


Twelve days till Christmas, there’s such a lot to do

Like finding the perfect tree



11 days till Christmas, there’s such a lot to do

Hanging up the lights
And finding the perfect tree



10 day s till Christmas, there’s such a lot to do

Gifts that are home made

Hanging up the lights

And finding the perfect tree


9 days till Christmas, there’s such a lot to do

Gifts that are home made

Hanging up the lights

And finding the perfect tree

Why’d I want them home made?

Now the other half is blinking.

The front one’s are on, now the back ones are off

And finding the perfect tree


3 days till Christmas, there’s such a lot to do

Addressing all these cards

I can’t believe how many people are shopping

No, no, of course you can stay with us. I’m sure the twins won’t mind sleeping in the garage

Still trying to hang all these lights

This place keeps getting messy

Why are we sending out so many cards

So very tired of shopping

They just keep arriving

Getting tired of cookies

What do you mean the pajamas are all sold out?

Get a flashlight I think I blew a fuse

And finding the perfect tree

“ Everyone could use a new pair of socks on Christmas.”
