NEast Philly Holiday Song: The 12 Days of NEastmas
Thanksgiving is over, and though many people had their holiday decorations up early this year, the NEast Philly staff wanted to wait for the official beginning of the season. So we give to you The 12 Days of NEastmas, a Northeast version of a classic holiday song.
You can click below for an instrumental version of the song, with our original NEast-y lyrics. Tip: start singing at about 17 seconds, and follow the lyrics to the tune and pattern of 12 Days of Christmas.
