‘ **On the first day of Christmas my ex-wife sent to me a divorce with no alimony** ’ This is a gem of a lyric that a student of mine came up with in a class today. We were talking about Christmas carols and we got to thinking that the presents in the 12 days of Christmas are pretty much sh\*t, apart from the 5 golden rings. Maybe you could use the geese as guard geese, but well… So why don’t we make our own 12 days of Christmas song. For now let’s just continue the one that my student made first, but then after the 12th day, anyone can change the theme by changing the person who gave the present. Or, we could just keep going until the 83rd day or whatever. Here we go… On the second day of christmas my ex-wife sent to me 2 kids she hated and a divorce with no alimony By the way [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=293427&highlight=days+christmas) is the 12 days of straight dope Christmas thread. ---
