Great Nathan. However some of the sentences you may want to adjust if you intend to sing this to the melody of 'The Twelve Days Of Christmas"; such as where it begins 'On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a Christmas tree.' But that's just my opinion. You did this well. Thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas.
