Every carol has a list. This one has cats. The old song counts twelve days of gifts. Ours counts twelve days of cats in one snowy courtyard, starting on Sunday, December 20. A Maine Coon sits in the pear tree. Every day after that, a bigger group of a new breed joins her, until the courtyard holds all seventy-eight on New Year’s Eve.
