You’ve heard the saying: The only way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loud for all to hear. Alright, we’re feeling festive these days, so in your best singing voices, let’s give it a whirl. 🎶
“On the first day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.”
