Mid-Week Movie #16: Twelfth

Twelvth?

Somehow this seems like one of the trickier ordinals, although eighth is no picnic either. Maybe it’s a shame that this song stops before we get into the easy ones, like threeteenth, fourteenth, and fiveteenth.

Or maybe it’s getting to be time to stop.

On the 12th day of Christmas
Canada gave to me
World-famous icons
Many lovely places
Great singers singing
Brave heroes striving
Real smart inventors
Artist types creating
Writers a-writing
High sugar treats
Professionals
Big sports stars
Far northern sites
And a nation, bounded by seas.

This final version reflects last-minute editing choices, and is the authorized version of the official video. Video? Yes, I’ve been working on a video, using an instrumental version of that loved/detested Christmas classic.
