On the ninth day of Christmas…. …my true love gave to me… …nine pairs of work socks. That would be eighteen socks if you’re doing the math. That true love should have either knit giant socks so that they could shrink to fit or have used superwash wool. © Judy Parsons 2021

On the eighth day of Christmas… ,,,my true love gave to me… …eight pairs of mittens. Now that’s actually sixteen mittens but it’s not exactly double eight pairs because there are eight left hand mittens and eight right hand mittens.
