Default 12 Days of Christmas logos

Now the days are getting short and Christmas approaches Sysman suggested to me that in the run up to the festive season and Christmas itself we should have logos that reflect our particular take on the carol 'The 12 days of Christmas' only our will open iwth the line 'On the first day of Christmas the helpdesk tasked to me....'
And we want you to suggest what the logos should include for as many days as you can think of. For example:

On the first day of Christmas the helpdesk tasked to me, a users file missing from the folder tree!

Get the idea? Over to you then.

Whoa, it's only just turned November! Christ, a Xmas tree up in Darlo and now this?! Christmas now seems to last for 2 or 3 months rather than the 2 weeks it should.

You're spoiling it!

As Dos_Box said the idea is that we will pick suggestions from this thread to use as tag lines in the custom logos on the run up to Christmas.

This is your chance to have your quote up top for all to see.
