Holiday Rush Blog Hop

Merry Christmas Glitter Graphics - Glitterlive.com
Happy Holidays, Blog-Hoppers,
and welcome to another great tour! 

I'm sure most of you know the drill by now. Simply use he bar at the top of the page, follow the trail all the way to the end of the tour (visiting lots of fabulous sites and getting lots of eye candy on the way) and you'll be entered to win a sleigh-full of really cool books and other fun prizes. 

If you stumbled upon this tour by accident, go to  http://booknibbles.com/bloghop/ to start at the beginning. 

Also, don't forget to join us this Saturday, 7 pm EST, at Gem Sivad's chat room for the chance to win even MORE prizes!  Details can be found HERE and HERE.

Today I've decided to entertain you with my own (decidedly different) version of the Twelve Days of Christmas, inspired in part by Frank Kelly's version, which can also be found below.  Mind you, I have nothing against birds, but I think you'll find my "gifts" a bit more fun...

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a partially clad man in a tree...


I have no idea what he's doing up there, but he sure improves the scenery.

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me two (excuse the pun) lovey-doves...

and a partially clad man in a tree.

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me three French men...



(they're from the Olympic fencing team, if you must know, and who doesn't love that?) two lovey-doves and a partially clad man in a tree.

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me four call girls...uh, I mean birds(wings, see?)...



three French men, two lovey-doves and a partially clad man in a tree (I dunno, maybe he thinks he's Peter Pan?).

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me five wedding rings...

(and a wish for Marriage Equality for everyone!)


four calling birds, three French men, two lovey doves and a partially clad man in a tree.

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave up on the geese and substituted goose down comforters and a lot of sexy sleepers laying around in it and also, well, you know, laying. Yeah. it's another pun. sorry about that...



five wedding rings, four calling birds, three French men, two lovey-doves and a partially clad man in a tree.


 



On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me seven surfing Santas (give or take a dude)...

six sexy sleepers, five wedding rings, four calling birds, three French men two lovey-doves and a partially clad man in a tree.

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love thought about giving me eight maids a milking...


but decided one was enough and instead concentrated on the cowboys she would obviously need to help her with the herd...


(Good choice, don'tcha think?)  seven surfing Santas, six sexy sleepers, five wedding rings, four calling birds, three French men, two lovey-doves and a partially clad man in a tree.

Could be he's up there 'cause he's trying to stay clear of the cows.  Smart man.

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love resorted to You Tube to give me nine pipers piping...


eight helpful farmhands, seven surfing Santas, six sexy sleepers, five wedding rings, four calling birds, three French men, two lovey-doves and a partially clad man in a tree.

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me ten drummers drumming...


nine pipers piping, eight helpful farmhands, seven surfing Santas, six sexy sleepers, five wedding rings, four calling birds, three French men, two lovey doves and a partially clad man in a tree.

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me eleven lords a leaping (hell, yes, they leap. trust me. just wait for the end)...


 ten drummers drumming, nine pipers piping, eight helpful farmhands, seven surfing Santas, six sexy sleepers, five wedding rings, four calling birds, three French men, two lovey-doves and a partially clad man in a tree.

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me twelve ladies dancing (and most appropriately, too)...


eleven lords a leaping, ten drummers drumming, nine pipers piping, eight helpful farmhands, seven surfing Santas, six sexy sleepers, five wedding rings, four calling girls (oops. I mean birds!) three French men, two lovey-doves and a partially clad man in a tree.

And, just in case you haven't had enough yet, here's two more versions. First, Frank Kelly with an Irish rendition...


And, finally, this version from Straight No Chaser...

Merry Christmas!!! I too can't stop thinking of the man in the tree. Maybe he needs someone to help him climb down, if so I gladly volunteer.

I'll take a bagpiper or a soccer player, or a guy in a tree. Yes, maybe I'm desperate, lol.
