The 12 Events of Christmas


This holiday season, the 12 days of Christmas are a fairytale come true. Start celebrating this year on Dec. 8, and the events continue through Jan. 1.

"On the 12th event of Christmas my true Club sent to me 12 yummy breakfasts, 11 champagne bottles, ten orphan Annies, nine Christmas dinners, eight transformed Scrooges, seven symphony players, six twinkling lights, five M.A.C. sweatshirts, four breakfast Santas, three buffet dinners, two glass bowls and a dinner dance full of glee."
