Last year my amazing colleague and business partner Adrianna Lupher and her team at Next Gen Milspouse put together an awesomely and true mil spouse version of the 12 Days of Christmas. Because of their’s I was inspired this year to put together my own sarcastic version because most days I sit and work and talk to myself anyway. Military life is filled with ups and downs. Part of making it through is laughing at both. Because of that enjoy this military and military spouse combined version to the holiday classic. By the way if you sing it out, it actually sounds a lot better than reading it!
