OK .... we all know the 'real' 12 Days of Xmas ...... do you have any 'alternate' ones??
Here are a few of Aussie Ones .....
On the twelfth day of Christmas My true love sent to me:
Twelve parrots prattling,
Eleven numbats nagging,
Ten lizards leaping,
Nine wombats working,
Eight dingoes digging,
Seven possums playing,
Six brolgas dancing,
Five Kangaroos,
Four koalas cuddling,
Three kookaburras laughing,
Two pink galahs,
And an emu up a gum tree.
On the twelfth day of Christmas my best mate sent to me:
Twelve lizards running
Eleven wombats napping
Ten roos a leaping
Nine opals shining
Eight roads a winding
Seven dolphins swimming
Six kelpies playing
Five sharks with fins
Four crocodiles
Three kookaburras
Two meat pies
and a koala in a gum tree
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me :
Lots of thunder booming,
Sun shining brightly,
10 snowflakes drifting,
Good soaking rain,
8 funnels spinning,
7 chunks of hail,
6 strong cyclones,
5 lightning bolts!
4 green shelf clouds,
3 double rainbows,
Fog creeping in

...Tis the season ... around Australia, any of these may be happening ....












... and a shower drifting out to sea
(I see this one happening most days!)

And probably the best of all .....
These are the lyrics of Derby's version of "12 Days of Christmas"
Twelve ringers singing
Eleven frogs a-leaping
Ten barras biting
Nine mud crabs nipping
Eight footies flying
Seven crocs a-swimming
Six blokes a-fishing
Five cherrabin
Four Norval sculptures
Three kookaburras
Two boab trees
