HISTORIC CITY NEWS
Historic City News has been published daily since March 2000. Reporting local news for St Augustine and St Johns County Florida, Historic City News is the county's only free press. Our mission is to hold public figures accountable to the public.
Historic City News scours the web at the close of each year to find some bit of editorial prose to entertain our core subscriber base, that being those politicos, lobbyists, elected and appointed officials of local government who seem hellbent on dancing between the raindrops to deliver us another session of Legislative pork while managing not to lose their jobs.
Between Christmas, Hanukkah and New Years, we relax, spend some time with family, and catch our breath before revving up for the next session.
For now, it’s time to get in the Christmas spirit in the only way we know how: Connecting the lyrics of a holiday staple to Florida lobbyists and lobbying firms.
We’re once again using the classic carol, or children’s song depending who you ask, “The 12 Days of Christmas” as our lens to combine the political with the Noel.
Without further ado, let us begin this year’s lyrics with satirical interpretations by Peter Schorsch.
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: A Partridge in a Pear Tree.
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Two Turtle Doves.
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Three French Hens.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Four Calling Birds.
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Five Golden Rings.
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Six Geese a Laying.
On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Seven Swans a Swimming.
On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Eight Maids a Milking.
On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Nine Ladies Dancing.
On the 10th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 10 Lords a Leaping.
On the 11th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 11 Pipers Piping.
On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 12 Drummers Drumming.
