Geocache Description:

The first verse runs:

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...
A Partridge in a Pear Tree.
1 True Love refers to God


This is a quick mini power run to celebrate the holiday season. This year we are giving away a dozen smileys each with a unique name remembering the 12 days of Xmas.
All caches are hidden along a very busy road so use stealth in your retrieval/replacement of the caches.
There is plenty of room to pull of the road and even travel slowly up the road while collecting all the caches. Please be careful if you decide to enter/exit traffic for each cache.
They are all spread roughly 600 feet apart. The choice is yours.
Happy Hunting and Happy Holidays to all. BYOP.


The twelve days in the song are the twelve days starting the day
after Christmas (December 26) to the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6, or the Twelfth Day). Twelfth Night is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "the evening of the fifth of January,
preceding Twelfth Day, the eve of the Epiphany, formerly the last
day of the Christmas festivities and observed as a time of merrymaking."
Although the specific origins of the chant are not known, it
possibly began as a Twelfth Night "memories-and-forfeits" game,
in which a leader recited a verse, each of the players repeated
the verse, the leader added another verse, and so on until one of
the players made a mistake, with the player who erred having to
pay a penalty, such as offering up a kiss or a sweet.
