I found a nice animation of [“The 12 Days of Christmas”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2oPio60mK4) by Bob and Doug McKenzie. Apparently, it’s a promo for the new animated Bob & Doug show premiering on Global TV in January. I hope one of the U.S. channels (Comedy Central, are you listening? You hosers.) brings this show Stateside. In the meantime, there’s lots of ideas in here, so listen and don’t get stuck. ---

I’m sorry, but the animation ruins it for me. I’m way too much of a fan of the original. ---
