12 Days of Christmas Neely Style



One of the traditions that the Fendley family has is the 12 days of Christmas plates.
Every year we pass around the plates and everyone picks a plate.
Once you receive your plate you take a black sharpie and write your name on the plate so that we can remember who had what plate each year.
After you have left you mark on the plate the fun begins.
We sing the 12 days of Christmas! Of course, whichever plate you have is the part of the song you sing. 12 drummers drumming is like GOLD. You sing 1 time the entire evening.
The partridge in the pear tree is like hitting a WHAMMY on "Press Your Luck", you are going to be singing all night long! The other winning plate is 5 golden rings. You have the pleasure of all night trying to make that sound good while everyone listens to you drawing out, "FIIIIIIVE GOOOOOLDEN RIIINGS."
You always have people that forget to sing, try to sound like this is being recorded (usually Katie), or hope that people will join in if they sing quiet enough.
We are the original "The Sing off", no instruments, just the wonder of our voices.
Boys to men would be proud.

These are not the exact plates.
