Since the Maryland State Song is sung to the tune of an old Christmas carol, "O Tannenbaum", I thought it would be fun to put the Days Of Yore places to the tune of another carol, "The 12 Days Of Christmas". The content is drawn specifically from the Days Of Yore project and each "day" corresponds to a different place in Montgomery County, MD. Enjoy!
