On the Twelfth Day of Bookstores, my true love gave to me:
12 Drummers Drumming!

11 Pipers Piping [and reading]
10 Lords A Leaping [and reading]
9 Ladies Dancing [and reading]
8 Maids a Milking [and reading]
7 Swans A-Swimming! [and reading!]
6 Geese a Laying [reading a book!]
5 Golden Rings [Books]
4 Calling Birds [to read a book!]
3 French Books [please read!]
2 Turtle [Island] Doves [celebrate ecology]
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree! [just for fun]

March to the beat of a different drum - start a drum circle or a percussion group with kids - mark time and have a Sunny One and even an Epiphany in 2026. Grab a book, ditch social media and read!
