I wrot a little song about FIRST a couple nights ago, called The Twelve Days of FIRSTmas. I'll be telling it in the standard 12 Days fromat, and it ends right on X-Mas.

On the first day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: A simple scoring system...

Good, except that the 12 days of Christmas starts on Christmas and ends on Epiphany

Well, I guess it's too bad it's the 12 days of FIRSTmas, not Christmas. :D

Shouldn't it be... On the first day of FIRSTmas Dean Kamen gave to me: A simple scoring system :D

I considered using "Dean Kamen" instead of "true love", but later on in the song, it just didn't fit. Anyhow (a la the now classic Battlecry II):

On the second day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: two teeter totters,
and a simple scoring system...

Wouldn't FIRSTmas = the kickoff? After all, there isn't a better gift than the kit of parts and a new game.

Yeah, but kickoff is never a set date. At least with FIRSTmas, it's always on the 25th. Alright, this is a little biased toward Christian beliefs (and no, I'm not religious), but if there's any day associated with non-denominational holiday season gift-giving, it'd be the 25th (although "Happy Winter Solstice" is a close second :p). Anyhow (you all remember the 2002 game, right?):

On the third day of FIRSTmas my true love gave to me: three rolly goals
two teeter totters,
and a simple scoring system...

You know, technically they were Sterlite brand containers, but I'll play along I guess!!

Yeah, but Rubbermaid is a more associable term than Sterilite, IMO. Anywho:

You did a great job with that. Add that to a list of something to do next year, but change the words.
