For Drupal developers, every day is a bit like Christmas. There’s always a new present hurtling down the chimney of the Drupal community: a new patch of code, a new module, a new Drupal 7 end-of-life extension that keeps us all awash in work. We’re all each other’s not-so-secret Santas, designing and delivering gifts for good little devs everywhere.
If we’re all such a holly jolly bunch here in the Drupal universe, a question begs itself: where are all the Drupal-themed holiday songs? Answer: there is one now, as we’ve just written one. Consider this a Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/whatever you celebrate gift from Chapter Three.
