... and a thief hiding in an orange tree!

 Here's a carol!

We don't really know much about the holidays of Sounis, Eddis, and Attolia (except that there's Hephestia's spring festival, and probably something else that I don't know offhand), so I made up the holiday of Hephestia's Day of Feasting, basically because it has the right amount of syllables.

If you don't know the tune or original lyrics to "The 12 Days of Christmas" ...
