my true love gave to me,
a partridge in a pear tree.
(The gifts have been unwrapped, toys are being played with, new books read, outfits admired, the doll house is being adorned with its new finery -- Santa Claus outdid himself with this one and I'll seek if I can get some photos up in the next while with mention of an amazing Canadian source -- and I'm testing out a new popover recipe for tonight, to accompany the roast beast.)

The partridge is a detail, the centerpiece in fact, of a lovely Christmas card that arrived yesterday from London. The work, "...And a Partridge in a Pear Tree", is by Hazel Lincoln, and the card is being sold in aid of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
