Zodiac Cat ~ A Christmas Poem


Celebrate the holidays with a whimsical poem
 that blends astrology with feline chaos, perfect for any cat lover.


The twelve signs gather 'round the tree,
To see what Santa Paws will see.
But cats don't care for mystic signs,
They only care for tinsel lines!

Aries starts the midnight fight,
Attacking baubles left and right.
Taurus sleeps beneath the bough,
And wakes to demand his dinner now.

Gemini dashes through the halls,
Knocking stockings off the walls.
Cancer cuddles by the fire,
Watching the flames grow ever higher.

Leo climbs the spruce so grand,
The brightest star in all the land.
Virgo grooms their paws so neat,
And leaves hairballs right at your feet.

Libra weighs the glass tree balls,
Then bats them 'til they crash and fall.
Scorpio hides inside a box,
And ambushes your knitted socks.

Sagittarius yowls into the night,
Batting the lights that sparkle bright.
Capricorn gives the famous glare,
Staring down from Santa's chair.

Aquarius chews the floral plants,
While Pisces does a sleepy dance.
No matter which sign they are told,
They're rulers of the household!

12 Days of Christmas (school remix)

This phrase usually references the popular "Teacher's Edition" parody of "The 12 Days of Christmas". Depending on which version you are thinking of (such as the finals-week stress parody), the 12th day typically features exam-related stress or humorous complaints.
Authors: Shelby Smith, Jordan Revenaugh, and Lizzy Botkin (December 5, 2016)

 On the twelfth day of Christmas, my teachers gave to me...

    12 boring lectures, 11 marked tardies, 10 pop quizzes, 9 sleepless nights, 8 mental breakdowns, 7 presentations, 6 research papers, 5 Bonus Points, 4 science labs, 3 failed quizzes, 2 lousy worksheets,
    And, a school year of anxiety!!

The 12 Days of Grade School

On the twelve day of grade school my students gave to me...
    12 Students Singing
    11 Pupils Playing
    10 Boys a-fighting
    9 Awful Migraines
    8 Girls Gossiping
    7 Kids a-laughing
    6 Broken Headphones
    5 Silly Grins
    4 Shouting Kids
    3 Gray Hairs
    2 Water Spills
    And a Mess of Pencil Shavings

John Denver & The Muppets - 12 Days of Christmas 

  YouTube Video



The famous Muppet rendition of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a chaotic, hilarious holiday staple. Originally featured on their 1979 album A Christmas Together with John Denver, the song features iconic characters repeatedly missing their cues, interrupting each other, and struggling with the "five golden rings".
The Cast of Characters
Each Muppet gets their moment to shine as the days progress, complete with their signature antics: 
  • Partridge in a Pear Tree: Kermit the Frog
  • Two Turtle Doves: Miss Piggy
  • Three French Hens: Floyd Pepper, Janice, and Zoot (The Electric Mayhem)Four Calling Birds: Fozzie Bear, Beaker, The Swedish Chef, and Statler & Waldorf
  • Five Golden Rings: Miss Piggy (who insists on belting out this specific line repeatedly)
  • Six Geese-a-Laying: Gonzo
  • Seven Swans-a-Swimming: The Swedish Chef
  • Eight Maids-a-Milking: Animal
  • Nine Ladies Dancing: The Great Gonzo and his chickens
  • Ten Lords-a-Leaping: Rowlf the Dog
  • Eleven Pipers Piping: Dr. Teeth
  • Twelve Drummers Drumming: Animal (who famously breaks the fourth wall)

The Australian Twelve Days of Christmas 
Author/Illustrator: Michael Salmon

It's Christmas down-under and Australia's iconic animals are set to party. Twelve possums playing, eleven lizards leaping ... six sharks a-surfing, and a kookaburra in a gum tree. Kookaburras, galahs, kangaroos, dingoes and many others sing the classic rhyme as only they can. Readers are treated to Michael Salmon's zany illustrations with sharks go a-surfin', possums playing, dingoes dancing and wombats washing.

  • 12 possums playing
  • 11 lizards leaping

The Innkeepers Wife

How could this be for a babe to be born,
Where the animals feed and it's not even warm?
I begged and I pleaded, yet not a person was swayed
To give up a room for the poor little babe.

So there he now lays, this poor little stranger,
Swaddled in cloths and laid in a manger.
And his sweet mother Mary… you should see her kind face…
A woman serene and so full of grace!



The shepherds that came in the black of the night--
On their lips was the name of the cute little sprite…
They called him Blessed Redeemer…Emmanuel-
And wonderful tidings they continue to tell!



Heavenly angels and a bright guiding star,
Came from the East to where we are now,
It shines a bright path for wayfaring men,
To the dearest and best of all Bethlehem…

I will wonder and ponder this strangest event,
For I, too believe this babes heaven sent…
The Messiah and Savior in my feeding trough?
Somehow… I know…he'll be enough!
