Yes, I know, the first day of Christmas is really December 25th. Twelfth night heralds Epiphany (with pipes, evidently). It's also the date decorations came down when I was growing up and a play attributed to Shakespeare. Regardless...
On the first day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
You might think I made a great shot, but I was aiming for my ex.
On a related theme, I have a story appearing on Me and Reading called Special for the Season.
