The song “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is a fun way to celebrate the holiday season with lots of treats and happy characters. Let’s explore a special version of this song that brings joy and teaches us about the spirit of giving during Christmas.
On the first day of Christmas, we start with a yummy chocolate chip cookie made by a loving mom. This tasty treat reminds us of the warmth and love of family traditions during the holidays.
The second day brings two alphabet letters as gifts. These letters help us learn and be creative, showing how important it is to enjoy learning, even during the holidays.
On the third day, we have three gingerbread men. These cookies are fun to bake and decorate with family, making sweet memories together.
The fourth day gives us four cookie candy canes. Candy canes are a special Christmas treat with a peppermint flavor, loved by kids and grown-ups alike.
On the fifth day, we see five Christmas trees. Decorating trees with lights and ornaments brings families together to enjoy the festive spirit.
The sixth day introduces six lady fingers, a light and tasty dessert. Trying different holiday foods helps us learn about celebrations from around the world.
On the seventh day, we have seven sugar wafers. These crispy snacks are perfect for sharing with friends and family during holiday gatherings.
The eighth day brings eight confetti-sprinkled treats. Confetti adds color and joy to our celebrations, making everything feel more festive and exciting.
On the ninth day, we have nine birdseed cookies. These special cookies are for birds, reminding us to care for nature and wildlife during the winter.
The tenth day features ten bonbons, sweet treats that make the holiday feast even more special. Enjoying these treats reminds us to savor the happy moments.
On the eleventh day, we have eleven chocolate frosting treats. Chocolate is a favorite for many, adding sweetness to our holiday celebrations.
Finally, on the twelfth day of Christmas, Santa brings twelve snowman cookies. These cookies celebrate the joy of winter and the magic of Christmas.
This fun version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” teaches us about family, friendship, and joy. As we celebrate, let’s remember to share, learn, and make happy memories with our loved ones. Whether we’re baking, decorating, or just spending time together, the true spirit of Christmas is all about the love we share.
Cookie Decorating Party: Gather some plain cookies and a variety of decorations like sprinkles, icing, and small candies. Invite your friends or family to join you in decorating the cookies. As you decorate, think about the different days from the song and try to create cookies that represent each day. For example, you could make a cookie that looks like a Christmas tree or a snowman. Share your creations and talk about why each day is special.
Alphabet Adventure: Using the idea from Day Two, find objects around your home or classroom that start with each letter of the alphabet. Try to find items that remind you of Christmas or the winter season. For example, “C” could be for “candy cane” or “cookie.” Write down your list and share it with a friend. See if they can find different items for each letter!
Nature’s Holiday Treats: Inspired by Day Nine, make a birdseed ornament to hang outside for the birds. Mix birdseed with a little bit of gelatin and water, then press the mixture into a cookie cutter shape. Let it harden, then hang it on a tree branch. Watch the birds enjoy their special treat and think about how we can care for nature during the winter months.
