On the second day of Christmas

On the second day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree.

Happy Boxing Day!

Boxing Day is traditionally a day following Christmas when wealthy people in the United Kingdom would give a box containing a gift to their servants or employees. It's also known as St. Stephen's day which makes me wonder if they put him in a box, too.

Here in the States, an excellent story on American Girl dolls appeared last week in the Chicago Tribune: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-12-21/entertainment/ct-ent-1222-american-girl-20111221_1_american-girl-place-ellen-brothers-pleasant-rowland

My only complaint? "American Girl dolls also do not have attitudes, existential crises or politics. They wouldn't join an Occupy protest."

Tsk. They've obviously never met Me!
