Imagining what a catatonic cacophonic fracas that would make.

I think I'd get really annoyed if my true love sent me any of that crap.

Interesting fact, though, Strange.

I just get kind of annoyed when people think it's Dec. 13 to Dec. 25. Or even worse, a countdown.

How could they give you a partridge in a pear tree? hmm

Shit. I misspelled Twelve.

Why is that I'm addicted to mellow songs? When I'm a wild nut ball. mmm

The season of Christmas as we have come to know it is actually known as advent; ~40 days before the 12 days. Coincidentally there are 40 days of lent followed by ~12 days of easter.
