The Twelve Days of Christnukkah—A Poem For Everyone

 On the First day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

A Star of David On A Pine Tree.

 

On the Second day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

Two Challah Loaves (With spectacular braiding!)

And A Star of David On A Pine Tree.

 

On the Third day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

Three Wise Men,

Two Challah Loaves,

And A Star of David On A Pine Tree.

 

On the Fourth day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

Four Kvetching Yentas,

Three Wise Men, Two Challah Loaves,

And A Star of David On A Pine Tree.

 

On the Fifth day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

(Sing along and hold that last note…) Five Gold Coins,

(And the chocolate inside the gelt was delicious!)

Four Kvetching Yentas, Three Wise Men, Two Challah Loaves,

And A Star of David On A Pine Tree.

 

On the Sixth day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

Six Angels Praying,

Five Gold Coins (Hold that note…),

Four Kvetching Yentas, Three Wise Men, Two Challah Loaves,

And A Star of David On A Pine Tree.

 

On the Seventh day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

Seven Dreidels Spinning (He made them out of clay.)

Six Angels Praying, Five Gold Coins (Keep holding that note!),

Four Kvetching Yentas, Three Wise Men, Two Challah Loaves,

And A Star of David On A Pine Tree.

 

On the Eighth day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

Eight Menorah Lights Burning,

Seven Dreidels Spinning, Six Angels Praying,

Five Gold Coins, (Holding, holding…),

Four Kvetching Yentas, Three Wise Men, Two Challah Loaves,

And A Star of David On A Pine Tree.

 

On the Ninth day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

Nine Reindeer Prancing (Can’t forget Rudolph…) (And just keep singing!)

Eight Menorah Lights Burning, Seven Dreidels Spinning, Six Angels Praying,

Five Gold Coins, (Still holding, holding…),

Four Kvetching Yentas, Three Wise Men, Two Challah Loaves,

And A Star of David On A Pine Tree.

 

On the Tenth day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

Ten Bells A-Jingling,

Nine Reindeer Prancing, Eight Menorah Lights Burning,

Seven Dreidels Spinning, Six Angels Praying,

(You know the drill by now) Five Gold Coins,

Four Kvetching Yentas, Three Wise Men, Two Challah Loaves,

And A Star of David On A Pine Tree.

 

On the Eleventh day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

Eleven Latkes with Applesauce,

(And away we go!) Ten Bells A-Jingling, Nine Reindeer Prancing,

Eight Menorah Lights Burning, Seven Dreidels Spinning, Six Angels Praying,

Five Gold Coins, (Holding, holding, holding),

Four Kvetching Yentas, Three Wise Men, Two Challah Loaves,

And A Star of David On A Pine Tree.

 

On the Twelfth day of Christnukkah my true love sent to me

Twelve Carolers Humming,

Eleven Latkes with Applesauce, Ten Bells A-Jingling, Nine Reindeer Prancing,

Eight Menorah Candles, Seven Dreidels Spinning, Six Angels Praying,

Five Gold Coins (Still holding—You’ve got this!),

Four Kvetching Yentas, Three Wise Men, Two Challah Loaves,

(Sing it loud for the grand finale!)

And A Star of David On A Pine Tree!
