Default The Twelve Days of BE Christmas

Well, it's Friday...

I thought we could do a British expat version of the Christmas song, so I'll start, and I give you:


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

A jar of Marmite in a pear tree.




Over to you.

OK.....I'll bite (the pear tree)

On the second day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Two jammy dodgers,
And a jar of marmite in a pear tree.
