A retelling of the beloved classic to accompany you through the most stressful part of Christmas: Christmas shopping. Enjoy! Feel free to sing the lyrics.

On the first day of shopping, my family gave to me...

A list of impossible things!

On the second day of shopping, Winter gave to me...

2 feet of snow,

And a list of impossible things!

On the third day of shopping, Winter gave to me...

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the fourth day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

only 4 parking spots,

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the fifth day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

LINES TEN FEET LONG!

only 4 parking spots,

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the sixth day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

6 cashiers crying,

Lines ten feet long,

only 4 parking spots,

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the seventh day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

7 items missing,

6 cashiers crying,

lines ten feet long,

only 4 parking spots,

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the eighth day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

8 screaming parents,

and a list of impossible things!

On the ninth day of shopping, shopping gave to me...

9 children running,

3 cars in ditches,

2 feet of snow,

and a list of impossible things!

On the eleventh day of shopping, shopping gave to me...
