Ed. note: With only a week before Christmas, you can't walk into any building without hearing Manheim Steamroller or Michael Bublé blasting through the soundsystem. It's enough to make you want to punch out one of those Salvation Army bell ringers. If you can't beat 'em (and not go prison), join 'em, right? So, in the American tradition of ripping off things from the English and making them better, we present to you Going Concern's Twelve Days of Christmas. Lyrics by Greg Kyte.
