The 12 Days of Christmas was always a favorite carol for my kids and many a car commute was passed with singing as they tried at an early age to remember all the different things that were given. Today is the third day and the cost of today’s gift, should you be thinking of gifting them to anyone, would be $181.50. That’s just for the birds of course, not the cage or house and food and toys and other accessories. And have you checked the zoning regulations at your domicile?
I hope you are enjoying the season and remembering to treat those who are not with kindness
