This is poetry (for some very low values of 'poetry').

With all the lights and decorations and a lowering gray sky that looks like snow, I'm feeling very Christmasy, here in Seattle.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, our PerlMonks gave to me:
twelve experience points,
eleven newbie questions,
ten obfuscations,
nine regular expressions,
eight FAQ references,
seven code snippets,
six meditations,
five thoughtful posts,
four CPAN modules,
three spelling corrections,
two spiteful trolls,
and an answer that actually worked!
