Part The Second: Every year there's some guy that calculates the cost
of all the items in the Twelve Days Of Christmas. I wonder what this
one would cost.)

I won't get to sing it this year as I am celebrating my first ever
green Christmas on the Mayan Riviera instead of the usual Christmas
Eve fish and seafood dinner with a group of friends, where most of the
guys are are wooddorkers.
