:: the second day of christmas

the traditional gift given in the song "the twelve days of christmas" is a pair of turtle doves. if you've ever seen the movie home alone 2: lost in new york, you'll remember that the turtle dove is a sign of love and friendship. if you take each line of the song to mean that each day "my true love" gives you each gift mentioned in the song, you'd end up with 22 turtle doves. that's a lot of love. i think true love would be cleaning those bird cages as well...

so on this, the second day of christmas, i give you ::
