The Vitiligo 12 Days of Christmas
As a child I used to lie to Father Christmas each year. When my mother took me to Santa’s Grotto and I was asked what I would most like for Christmas, I would reply “a Tiny Tears doll” or some other must-have toy of the day. I was too embarrassed to tell him that what would make me happier than any plaything would be to wake up on Christmas morning to find the white vitiligo patches on my skin had disappeared. So, for anyone who feels like I did, I dedicate my Twelve-Days-of-Christmas song to you! Here it is: a Christmas song for my vitiligo friends.
I’m sure you know how the famous cumulative song goes. You start with day one and each time you move on to the next day you add the previous days’ gifts too so that each new verse is longer than the last. (The original text above will remind you how it works if you have forgotten.) So I have just listed the days and vitiligo solutions in reverse order so you can construct the song for yourself!
i.e.
On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me…
Some Boost capsules under the tree.
On the second day … etc.
Now, find yourself a quiet space somewhere (unless you are a real extrovert) and sing away… it really is best sung aloud!!!
Twelve patches tanning
Eleven tablets chewing
Ten Salts a-bathing
Nine itches soothing
Eight nuts a-oiling
Seven skins a-Bronzing
Six hennas dyeing
Four Vitix gels
Three Betaines
Two UV lamps
And some Boost capsules under the tree!
My heartfelt season’s greetings to you.
I wish you a New Year full of peace, blessings, happiness and healthy skin!
