Cards by Kyle Oliver for prayr.cc (CC BY 2.0)
On the 40th day before Christmas, yours truly has finally made available the meticulously digitized images from last year’s 12 Days of Christmas project!
While I couldn’t pull off a children’s book (as some of you suggested), I hope you’ll enjoy these repurposed images as a deck of cards you can use for memory games, song-related math lessons, or just props for further enjoying the silly but much beloved song. The 12 Days of Christmas will never look the same.

Second Sunday after Christmas Day (BCP, Public Domain)
O God, who wonderfully created, and yet more wonderfully restored, the dignity of human nature: Grant that we may share the divine life of him who humbled himself to share our humanity, your Son Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Let us give thanks to God for all good gifts so freely bestowed upon us.
For the beauty and wonder of your creation, in earth and sky and sea.
We thank you, Lord.
For all that is gracious in the lives of men and women, revealing the image of Christ,
We thank you, Lord.
For our daily food and drink, our homes and families, and our friends,
We thank you, Lord.
For minds to think, and hearts to love, and hands to serve,
We thank you, Lord.
For health and strength to work, and leisure to rest and play,
We thank you, Lord.
For the brave and courageous, who are patient in suffering and faithful in adversity,
We thank you, Lord.
For all valiant seekers after truth, liberty, and justice,
We thank you, Lord.
For the communion of saints, in all times and places,

Above all, we give you thanks for the great mercies and promises given to us in Christ Jesus our Lord;
To him be praise and glory, with you, O Father, and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.

The 12 Days of Christmas by Jill Howarth
Genuinely lovely, and a kindred spirit in its treatment of French hens.
A Holiday Celebration by Peter, Paul, & Mary
The best (non-ironic) Christmas album ever. The highlight is the rollicking version of “Children Go Where I Send Thee,” which is—let’s admit it—a vastly superior Christmas-related counting song.
