The 12 Laundry Stains of Christmas: Day Twelve

Friday December 25, 2009

On the twelfth day of Christmas,

my true love dropped on me

Twelve coffee dribbles,

Eleven chunks of cheese,

Ten sugar cookies,

Nine drips of dip,

Eight wine splashes,

Seven snickerdoodles,

Six cranberries,

Five buttered rums,

Four ginger boys,

Three jelly cookies,

Two lemon squirts,

And chocolate for all to see.

Well, we've almost made it through the twelve laundry stains of Christmas. I'll just finish this Irish Coffee and then it's time to tackle the stain remains of the day. I hope you've had some fun this holiday and enjoyed the stain removal tips and recipes. Merry Christmas to All!
