The 12 Days of FIRSTmas...

[EddieMcD]

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...

[E. The Kidd]

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

[EddieMcD]

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 ). 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...

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

Just how much would the real 12 days of Christmas cost, you ask? Well, accoring to PNC Bank, $65,264. For more information, http://pncbank.com/12days.

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

[EddieMcD]

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