I gave my loving dad
A most lovely lavender tie
On the second day of Christmas
I gave my loving dad
Two silken scarves

The Sinatra Family's "Twelve Days of Christmas" song is a unique rendition of the traditional Christmas song that starts with the familiar Twelve Days of Christmas verse. Frank Sinatra Jr., the son of the legendary Frank Sinatra, and his sisters Nancy and Tina, sing their version dedicated to their father. Each verse is followed by a repeated chorus that announces the previous items and adds new ones, resulting in a cumulative giving of 78 gifts in total by the end of the song.
The song is a touching tribute to their father, Frank Sinatra, who is known for his impeccable style and love for luxurious, exclusive items. The children give him lavender ties, silken scarfs, ivory combs, meerschaum pipes, golf clubs, and books, among other items. However, the song signifies that the greatest gift the children can give their father is their love and affection, which they do through hugs and kisses.
Overall, The Sinatra Family's "Twelve Days of Christmas" song serves as a reminder that the spirit of Christmas is not about lavish gifts and material excess but about love, family, and affection.

4:14 - 4:17 The sigh Frank gave at the end. LOL! No, it is, because you get it. He's thinking, "That's a hell of a lot of gifts!"
