Thursday 28 December, 20064th day of Christmas
The 'four calling birds' are the Evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; or their Gospels. Which makes sense because they are "calling" out the story.
Elisabeth did a "Boxing Day" Meme on the 26th that she got from Paperback Writer, called the meme of 4.

Morning Rel,
Nice list. I like the chocolate. :)
Hey Rel...is that my nipple cup? I made one in ceramics years ago and havent seen it for a while...lol. Nice meme!
Rel - I stayed in Albany, NY for three months when I spent a year in the U.S. back in 1973-74. I was there from early November to the end of December '73, at McCloskey High School.
I love your list. Wow. You really get around.
Maybe someday you'll write about your experiences in Vietnam. I think most people would be fascinated to read what you went through at such a young age. Interesting tidbits about you, Rel!
Interesting meme Rel.You look as though you've led an interesting life. I'm enjoying reading what each of the twelve days of Christmas represent too, I know the song of course but hadn't come across the meanings before. I like the pic of the four calling birds.
Hi Rel
Good MeMe. So you're another Vietnam Vet - terrible time in history, that, and I think Iraq is another Vietnam in some ways - unwinnable.
Fourth day of Christmas, interesting analogy with the four Gospels, nice too.
Take care
xo
Rel, The more I know about you the more I like you!! I want to look through your book shelf!! Interesting cup you have there sir!!
