on the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…

three French hens,
two turtledoves,
and a partridge in a pear tree.
Update! Apparently there is a little confusion over what exactly the song says. I learned it as calling birds, as I think most of us did, but in doing a little research, I found out it was originally colly birds, which means blackbirds. Apparently five golden rings originally referred to ring-necked pheasants, but I stuck with the jewelry as my inspiration (as you’ll see on Monday). I say, sing it however you want!
