12 Days of Farm Christmas

The holidays are upon us, the relatives will be arriving within a few days, and there’s snow outside! It’s time of excitement, wrapping presents, cleaning up the farm house, and greeting the smiling faces of customers stopping in to load up on delicious ingredients for their holiday celebrations.

On the farm, there are so many things to celebrate this year, so I thought it would be fun to put it into a parody of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”—so here it goes! It’s already a mostly-agricultural song already, so you’ll see the parallels. (Please feel free to sing it, I won’t mind!)
