I never can resist a chance to have a sing song, especially if I get the chance to do silly actions as well. Two years ago I wrote a review post of the year, based around the 12 Days of Christmas, which is one of my favourite Christmas songs for precisely those reasons – singing and silliness – and it worked so well that I thought I’d recycle the idea with some tweaks for 2012.

So, without further ado, clear your throats and warm up your glasses because here they are: the twelve months of twenty-twelve!
