Santa’s Got Jokes

On the First Day of Christmas, my neighbor gave to me a partridge in a pear tree.

The pears (organic!) have been turned into one of my favorite soups, Curried Pear & Butternut Squash Soup. It’s dreamy. I’ll share the recipe if you’re interested.

On the Second Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me two turtle doves.

Turtle doves…get it?

On the Third Day of Christmas, my neighbor gave to me three French toasts.

Tate had several delicious breakfasts thanks to our True Love/Neighbor.

On the Fourth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me four calling birds three collared dogs.

On the Fifth Day of Christmas my neighbor gave to me, 5 onion rings (and some breath mints).

On the Sixth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me six geese a-laying.

On the Seventh Day of Christmas, my neighbor gave to me seven swans a-swimming in soda.

They really did give us 7 sodas. Scott grabbed one and left immediately and Tate zoomed by in his wheel chair and took a root beer leaving only 5 for the picture.

On the Eighth Day of Christmas my true love gave to me eight maids a-milking.

Again some of the drinks were gone immediately. I promise our secret Santa counted to 8 with no problem.

On the Ninth Day of Christmas my neighbor gave to me nine ladies dancing.

On the Tenth Day of Christmas, my neighbor gave to me 10 Lords a-leaping (over each other).

If you lose please don’t be a cry baby. Good advice.

On the Tenth Day of Christmas my true love gave to me Ten Lords a-sleeping.

Soft, fuzzy blanket for Tate’s bed

On the Eleventh Day of Christmas my true love gave to me, eleven pipers piping.

The package had 11 pipe cleaners as decoration and contained a neck massager for Tate.

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, no one remembered the lyrics to the song.

This crazy bunch has made our Christmas so much FUN! Every night for the last 12 days our doorbell would ring, making our dogs bark like crazy, and we would find a treasure at our front door. Sometimes we would see a a figure or two moving quickly away from our front door, but they were never more than a blur, really. The first day I gave a thank you wave to an electric car making a cautious getaway. In addition to the 12 Days of Christmas themed gifts, they gave Tate Snoopy Christmas pajamas; we all got new socks; there were gorgeous purple macaroons in a delicate dish. These are generous, stealthy, funny people, and we are so grateful for each of them.
