11 Days 'Til Christmas: Ideas for Shopping Local
Including Monday, there are only 11 shopping days left until Christmas. Patch brings you ideas for shopping local in Bethel.
On Sunday we brought you 12 Days ‘Til Christmas: Ideas For Shopping Local and shared gift ideas for those who may want a “partridge” (real or record) or a “pear tree.”
Today‘s gift ideas involve two turtledoves. The song says: “On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree.”
A partridge in a pear tree and two turtledoves are not traditional gifts given these days but below are some places to shop based off those ideas.
It’s been said that turtledoves mate for life so giving someone a dove as a gift would be quite meaningful. The dove symbolizes peace, happiness and love.
