Christmas is nearly upon us.
Where has the year gone? *insert gasp of shock and look of bewilderment*
To celebrate the countdown until that magical day on the 25th, my set of posts for the next two weeks will have a Christmas theme. I’ve titled this set of posts…wait for it.
The 12 Days of Christmas.
Wait. Am I bonkers? (Don’t answer that.) Am I terrible at math? (Don’t answer that, either.) Technically it’s thirteen days until Christmas. But let’s be honest…rules. Meh. They’re more like guidelines, really.
All that’s to say, be prepared for some awesomesauce fandom fun, served with a large portion of Christmas and a side of geekiness.
To kick things off, we’re actually going to focus on 12 Days of Christmas. As in the song. What would the verses shine the spotlight on if centered around a specific fantasy or sci-fi series? I’m glad you asked. 😉
**important note** I’m only counting down the song from the 12th day each time. Otherwise it would be too long and cumbersome. You’re welcome. 😉
***other important note*** For the most beneficial viewer experience, read these to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas.
Sci-fi and Fantasy Renditions of 12 Days of Christmas
HUNGER GAMES
Twelve divided districts
Eleven Effie outfits
Ten kisses for Peeta
Nine scrapes with death
Eight Caesar interviews
Seven hysterical outbursts
Six sobbing sessions
Five Gale hugs
Four dear friends
Three Capitol visits
Two boyfriend choices
And one girl they call “The Mockingjay”
NARNIA
Twelve talking mice
Eleven frolicking fauns
Ten rowdy dwarves
Nine Bism gnomes
Eight English children
Seven banished lords
Six vile villains
Five noble kings
Four Pevensie siblings
Three Bulgy Bears
Two friendly beavers
And one wardrobe in the spare room
LORD OF THE RINGS
Twelve months of questing
Eleven filthy orcses
Ten poems recited
Nine creepy wringwraiths
Eight juicy fishes
Seven major races
Six meals a day
Five big battles
Four valiant hobbits
Three epic beards
Two white wizards
And the One Ring to rule them all
Which sci-fi or fantasy series would be your favorite for this song? I’d love to hear your thoughts here or on social media.

Oh. My. Gallifrey! These are amazing!
I LOVE the Lord of the Rings one!!
Haha, thanks, Kory. Glad you enjoyed it. Some of the numbers, especially in Narnia and Hunger Games, were super hard to come up with. But it was a really fun post to write. 😀
These are brilliant!
Thanks!
Oh my goodness, these are awesome! I especially like the Lord of the Rings one. XD
Thanks, Madeline. My siblings and I came up with a similar version a couple years ago. It was a lot of fun.
