And Katie laughed out loud at my new 100oz slurpee mug. She hadn't wanted me to buy it because.... she was thinking of getting it for me for Christmas. But she wasn't sure if I'd use it or not, or what effects 100oz of caffeine would have on me. I fill it half full of non caffeinated beverage (plus ice).
Merry Christmas, friends, whether one personally observes the holiday or not. Other people's holidays are always a good excuse to have have cake and make an animal friend.
Today’s special animal friend is a partridge that, unlike most partridges, could reasonably be expected to perch in a hypothetical pear tree: the red-legged partridge, Alectoris rufa:
Native to Iberia, France, and a bit of Italy, the red-legged partridge has naturalized in some areas of England. They eat seeds, leaves, roots, and legumes as well as insects. This species prefers an open, flat habitat and nests on the ground. The red-legged partridge is rated Near Threatened by IUCN.
According to an article at Vox.com, “The Twelve Days of Christmas” was first published in English in 1780. Earlier versions in French are theorized. Music historians agree the song was a memory game played during the Christmas-season festivities which began, rather than ended, on December 25. If a player could not remember the correct sequence – a feat which grew more difficult as the list grew longer and beverages were served – he or she would have to give a “forfeit,” usually a kiss, to another player.
Merry Christmas all!
here's a fun e-card from the Jaqui Lawson web-site.
