For the holiday season, I’ve taken a quick stab at re-writing that 12 Days of Christmas ditty. If Christmas ain’t really your thing, then hopefully the lolcat is enough to bring a smile to your face.

Remember to sing along. Preferably after a few egg nog’s or Christmas Ale’s. (It’ll be funnier).

  • A typo in a CTA
