Carolĭn and Carolīne are both acceptable...
You're being propositioned!!!
Grownut! You came back!!! Hooray!!! How has it been under your rock?
Welcome home cousin Nut. We missed you. Did you sing along with the 12 days of Thanksgiving Wassail? It's a gooder.
Yup. Been thinkin' on that 10th day--no luck yet...Wait-obsession meets inspiration--
On the tenth day of Thanksgiving my true love gave to me
Ten blue-egg layers
Nine naked necks napping
Eight leghorns leaping
Seven super sized sizzles
Six pink ballet slippers
FIIIIIIIVE TURKEEEEEEEY LEEEEEEEGGGGGS
Four chirping birds
Three peeping princesses
Two giggling hens
And a roo in a crinoline for the paaarrrr-tyyyyyyyyyyy
O that's good!!! Are you up for Grand Ole Opry?
On the eleventh day of Thanksgiving my true love gave to me
Eleven Egyptian fayoumis
Ten blue-egg layers
Nine naked necks napping
Eight leghorns leaping
Seven super sized sizzles
Six pink ballet slippers
FIIIIIIIVE TURKEEEEEEEY LEEEEEEEGGGGGS
Four chirping birds
Three peeping princesses
Two giggling hens
And a roo in a crinoline for the paaarrrr-tyyyyyyyyyyy
um excuse me. 'Egyptian fayoumis' ??? Is that something related to the slighty kinky secret closet candling thing? I don't think I can pronounce that beluved Claire. Did you double check with the Queen on the spelling thing? ahem mi mi mi
♪♪♪ Onnnnnnnnn the eleventh day of Thanksgiving my true luv gave to me
Eleven egyptian fayosomethingsomethings.....
ok that didn't work.... off to consult with googleguy....
fayoumi = fay-ooo-mee
Egyptian breed of chicken. Black and white. Quite striking. :-)
I don't recommend going into the closet with a fayoumi, could be dangerous...
Oh, the Queen says Egyptian has a capital E. ;-P
O they have a great tail!!!! Can they be crossed with chickens with bad hair I wonder? ok mi mi mi
♪♪♪Onnnnnnnn the Eleventh day of Thanksgiving my true luv gave to me

I think this is DEFINITELY one of our finest wassails. We need to finish it before Turkey Day. Who hasn't added a line yet? I think there should be 15 Days of Thanksgiving.
LLLllllllovely-but a bit like opening the doors to the advent calendar before the day, hmmmmm??? This IS the eleventh day [before] Thanksgiving...
{{{So Moxy, do we get ornery and start counting the 12 days of Christmas on December 25th or what???}}}
That's not ornery! The 12 days of Christmas are from December 25 until January 6 (Epiphany, or Twelfth Night).
Wow, I'm not usually ornery. Let me see. Maybe we should have "On the first Day of December, my true love gave to me....." and then we can have a whole month of utter silliness!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one then -we still take our tree down on 12th Night and not before -just because.
Claire -if it (ornery) seemed to have any negative connotations then someone mis-connoted....:-p
Well, hopefully someone will remember to start a new December Wassail thread on Monday!
Can we allow Alka-Seltzer to be an animal on Monday? Just this once?
Only if someone is willing to name a chick Alka-seltzer between now and Monday. ROTFL....
Sounds like a mated pair to me...who's hatching? Nail 'em and we're off!!
So I'll try to remember to re-wassail Monday...
On the Twelfth day of Thanksgiving my true love gave to me
Twelve crazy chicken-heads singing!!!
Eleven Egyptian fayoumis
Ten blue-egg layers
Nine naked necks napping
Eight leghorns leaping
Seven super sized sizzles
Six pink ballet slippers
FIIIIIIIVE TURKEEEEEEEY LEEEEEEEGGGGGS

Bursted out this morning Cousin Nut when the sky started turning pinkish. DRAT! Busted sneaking out of the room in my jammies. Shall have to wait til DH is in the shower to dance in the desert
