To celebrate the holiday classic, The 12 Days of Christmas, we decided to have a little fun, with some help from Tristate residents who illustrate the song beautifully. Watch for your friends and neighbors each day until Christmas, then sing along with us as we count all 12 days on Dec. 25.

On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.
