This was great Brad. I’m so glad I will not be having 12 months of Debt. I’m already saving for Christmas 2012.
Merry Christmas

Thanks Jackie! I had fun coming up with it and even though it was only twelve lines it took longer than I thought it would. LOL
One of my favorite reminders of our success getting out of debt is an ornament I made that contains cut up pieces of all our credit cards back when we borrowed for everything. It’s great to look back and see how far we’ve come and how easy it has been to live without debt.
Merry Christmas to you and your family! 😀
Haha nice one. I dare you to go out to the mall caroling with this tune 🙂
Happy holidays!
LOL That would be pretty hilarious. Judging by the vicious crowd of Black Friday I would probably get pepper sprayed. Haha! 😀
Love this!! You da man, Mr. clever! 🙂
Haha, it was only twelve lines but I do think it was a good idea and twist on 12 Days of Christmas. LOL I did a Christmas song last year so I figured I’d give it a whirl this year too. 😀
Even though this post is almost 3 years old, its so true still!! The message is clear and powerful about how we get further in debt especially during the holidays.
