On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a building with a palm tree?!
Yes, this is indeed 12 days of Christmas, San Pedro Red Cross style of course! As part of the on-going holiday fun, members of the group got together to record their very own version of the Christmas classic 12 days of Christmas with the most appropriate Red Cross spin on the lyrics (we’re talking three pairs of crutches, four pints of blood and the list goes on). The lyrics were put together by photographer Karen Brodie, and sung by members Jane West, Shirlee Arnould, Melodie Wolfe, Sean Connors, and Brittany O’Daniel and recorded by Ralf West at Reef Radio.

‘Tis the season and when it comes to spreading cheer, well The San Pedro Red Cross knows a thing or two about that. Check out the jingle on soundcloud and be sure to catch the cheery tune pumping on the Red Cross boat at this Year’s Lighted Holiday Boat Parade, happening at 7PM on Saturday December 19th’
