12 Days of a Samoan Christmas
I experienced one Christmas while I was living and working in American Samoa. During that time, I wrote and recorded the song, "The 12 Days of a Samoan Christmas." It was played on the local radio station, KHJ, as well as performed live at several Christmas programs. Here are the 12 days.

Someday you'll have to go back and explain the significance of all those things!
I have no clue what any of that is. But I can see how the tune could be catchy.
How cute is your song? I love it! I am not thinking the turkey tail looks very appetizing though. :)
Yea - and Island Christmas sounds fun. Especially with this cold week we are having!
