The 12 Pains of Christmas | A 2021 Executive Sing-a-Long

The holidays are here and we’re still trying to figure out how we’re going to get it all done with the pandemic penetrating every aspect of our lives.

So, instead of asking you to work at something – anything – I’ve decided to give you a gift of holiday music to spark your spirit!

There’s some pretty stiff competition around the holidays … a lot from a bunch of fluff balls … animated folks like Elmo, Winnie the Pooh, Shrek, the Muppets, the Chipmunks … so what can go wrong with my brilliant effort at holiday song-writing?

I should get a break because there is a remarkable breakdown of taste and intelligence at Christmastime.

I know what you’re thinking … don’t quit your day job. (Not yet.)

So, feel free to sing along to the tune of the UPDATED 12 Days of Christmas 2021.

Key of D Sharp, please.
