12 Days of Pokemon & Merry Christmas!

I'm not sure if anyone will be reading here today but I'm posting anyway!

As part of my 101 things to do in 1001 days list, I had included learning a new Christmas carol. Cameron wasn't too keen on doing a traditional carol so instead we adapted a Christmas song we already know - The Twelve Days of Christmas - into a Pokemon song!

We had a lot of fun writing it and singing it over and over again, just to make sure it works!

Cameron has kindly let me share the lyrics here (the spellings are his - I haven't got a clue if they're right or not!).

On the first day of Christmas my trainer sent to me...

A Starly in a pokeball tree

Two Turtwigs

Three Piplups

Four Raichus

Five Pachirisus

Six Wobbuffets

Seven Gliscors

Eight Glaceons

Nine Happinys

Ten Togepi

Eleven Drapions

Twelve Pichus

I can't quite believe it's Christmas eve already! We have done everything we had hoped to do and our pace of home life throughout advent has been mostly calm and comforting.

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the life that Cameron and I are building together. This is the tenth Christmas since Cameron was born and a lot of those have been fraught with difficulty in many ways. I feel so blessed to have got to a more comfortable stage.

I'll be popping back here with a few bits and pieces between Monday and the new year but, for now, I shall bid you farewell and wish you a very merry Christmas - may your children's eyes sparkle and your hearts glow!
