    Default 12 days of Christmas- food storage gifts.

    1. On the first day of Christmas
    Because you are so sweet
    I hope this can of HONEY
    Makes your day complete.

    2. On the second day of Christmas
    Because you are so neat
    Look at the gift I have brought you
    Two large bags of WHEAT.

    3. On the Third day of Christmas
    if your baking kids a treat
    You'll need these bags of SUGAR
    To make it oh-so-sweet.

    4. Popcorn, chips and french fries,
    Would quickly have to halt
    For they would lose their savor
    Unless they had some SALT.

    5. On the fifth day of Christmas
    If you could according to Hoyle,
    Everything you cook will stick,
    If your pantry's out of OIL.

    6. On the sixth day of Christmas
    This variety of MILK
    Will make your cooking easier
    With sauces smooth as silk.

    7. Cooking, washing, brushing teeth,
    Would certainly be awful,
    If fresh pure WATER wasn't there.
    Make sure you keep a shelf full.

    8. They have improved the quality
    of T.P. through the ages-
    But gosh in times of crisis.
    This beats the Yellow Pages.

    9. On t he Ninth day of Christmas
    Warm things will sothe the tummy
    This "country vegetable SOUP mix
    Will sure taste quite yummy.

    10. On the tenth day of Christmas
    Make your cooking turn out nice
    A little shake, a little pinch,
    Of your favorite can of SPICE.

    11. On the eleventh day of Christmas
    Getting anxious, I am sure.
    With your year's supply of IVORY,
    Your 99-44/100% pure.

    12. Now Christmastime is finally here
    Hope you've enjoyed the treats.
    Your year's supply's in better shape
    Make sure you don't deplete.

    Have a Merry Christmas and a
    Happy New Year!
    I hope this plate of GOODIES
    Brings you lots of joy and cheer!

    2012 Goals
    Use the vegetables from my garden and learn to preserve.
    Cut down on all unnecessary things.
    Free is best.
    Get the garage completely cleaned out. Half done-Until BIL and SIL stored their stuff--now back to square 1.
    Make the yards nice-weed, mow, plant, flowerbeds,etc.
    Stay home more/eat out less if at all.
    FIND A NEW JOB!!!

    Cute

    If one were to make this, though, I think they should change the word "plate" to "basket" when they say "plate of goodies". I don't know any plate in the world that would fit all that stuff

    Yes I'm out of my mind. It's a dark and scary place in there.
