Good Christmas morning, hockey fans! Last week we set out a list of Christmas presents for the Stars; this week, I was planning on writing my annual Festivus column on Marty Turco's troubles in net via the time-honored medium of caroling (leading with either Marty, the Red-Faced 'Tender or Losty the Goalman), but after considering all the presents you readers are sitting there waiting to open after reading this, I decided to keep this week's column brief---hey, what's with all the cheering?
At any rate, after a quick, free consultation with the Two Wise Men (Hull's had his Wise Man License temporarily suspended) --not to mention a massive change of mood on the Stars since their last game, a down-to-the-wire nail-biter in Toronto-- I've been able to dig deep into the forgotten folk songs of the Stars franchise and bring you the singalong version of the 12 Days of Starsmas.

Put that in your stockings and smoke it, Burke! Perhaps in a better time, a better place (pauses, looks wistfully in the distance) we could play Ron Wilson-coached and Brian Burke-managed teams every day of the year. Until then, enjoy your Feast of the Holy Innocents this year, and watch for that Lord of Misrule!
