12 days of Christmas - Day 3

Happy Day, My True Loves. I give to you, today, on the third day of Christmas, Three French Hens. Because they are French, they are very snobby, and dislike Americans. So either enslave them in cages for their eggs, or, use them to make a groovy Chicken soup. Or Coq Au Vin. Or Chicken Burgers.

The Number 10 Best, most joyful and delightful Christmas Song, according to our survey is... It Came Upon a Midnight Clear. It's one of the lesser performed carols, but it's got to be one of the most beautiful and meditative. Like many Christmas Carols that appear in hymnals everywhere, the true beatuy of the poem is not in the first verse only, but the others as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Came_Upon_the_Midnight_Clear

On the other hand the number 10 song that makes us all want to take up Ebenezer Scrooge on the whole Stake of holly though the heart thing... is... The Chipmunks Song. Maybe it's backlash against the idiotic movie franchise, or as one voter put it, it puts emphasis on the Christmas list thing. (Thank God, not in the way Santa Baby does.) Whatever the reason, we hate it, and we want it to die a long slow death by hula hoop.

I'm off to call on some more birds. Have a happy day!
