On the 1st day of Christmas, my true love sent to me

…a partridge in a pear tree

Swap your pear tree for a Christmas tree, put on your bell-bottoms and platform shoes and let David Cassidy and the gang make the 12 days of Christmas a rockin’ one! White Christmas, Jingle Bells, Frosty the Snowman… A Partridge Family Christmas Card has all of the Christmas classics. And when you hear their renditions you’ll understand why it has sold over 6 million copies since its release.

On the 2nd day of Christmas, my true love sent to me

…two turtle doves

This holiday season, enter a world of dragons, ley lines, and leviathans with Harry Turtledove and his wildly popular fantasy Darkness series. This 6 book series is the perfect gift for the science fiction or fantasy lover in your life.

On the 3rd day of Christmas, my true love sent to me

…three French hens

Know someone who would love a little touch of French country for his or her holidays? These hand-decorated, clay poules (hens) from the Pierre Deux store will have them saying Tres Bien! C’est Magnific!

On the 4th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me

…four calling birds

Give the gift of song this holiday season! Few things are as universally loved as the sound of birds singing (minus crows). There are so many wonderful bird sounds. Imagine if there was a book that allowed you to not only see pictures of hundreds of different birds, but hear them as well. Now there is… Bird Songs: 250 North American Birds in Song. This informative, full color book will make a joyful gift for anyone on your holiday shopping list.

…five golden rings

Will you marry me? Happy anniversary! Make this holiday a memorable one that your love will never forget. Don’t worry one will do.

On the 6th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me

…six geese a laying

Want to do something good this winter? For this one you don’t even have to leave your apartment in Smyrna… Give a goose. No joke. Heifer International, a non-profit organization, says that geese are the perfect animal for the poor and hungry because they’re easy to care for, can adapt to both hot and cold temperatures, and can lay up to 75 eggs a year! For a $20 donation, you can give a goose to families that are in desperate need of such a reliable food source on behalf of someone you care for.
