12 Days Of Books Singing

So apparently I am in a completely irreverent mood this holiday season and am enjoying all the fun ways we can morph the traditions to suit our individual selves.  To that end, if you are sick of hearing the original 12 Days of Christmas, here are some literary alternatives.

Harry Potter

On the twelfth day of Christmas, the Owl Post brought to me

Twelve veela dancing (Happy Christmas, indeed!)

Eleven Slyth'rins scheming

Ten points from Gryffindor

Nine folks named Weasley

Eight books by Lockhart

Seven years at Hogwarts

Six Quidditch teammates

Five golden snitches

Four Hogwarts Houses

Three Dursleys

Two best friends

And a new sweater under the tree

Lord of the Rings

On the twelfth day of Christmas a wizard gave to me, 

Twelve Elves of Lorien, 

eleven gems from Moria, 

ten of Gandalf's fireworks,

 nine Fellowship members,

 eight talking trees, 

seven men of Rohan, 

six smelly orcs, 

five undead Wraiths,

 four little hobbits, 

three lembas bread,

 two sons of Gondor 

and one ring to rule them all. 

Game of Thrones

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Twelve ‘Spiders’ spying, 

Eleven loyal liege-men,

Ten banners flying, 

Nine armies marching,

Eight holds a-keeping, 

Seven Gods to worship,

Six maidens waiting,

 Five warring kings!

Four pigeon pies, 

Three dragon eggs,

Two twins in sin,

And a throne that was very bloody.

Anybody else know of anymore?  Let me know and we will have the whole world singing along with these booky versions of a beloved carol.  Happy Reading Everybody!
