Today is the Sixth Day of Christmas. Today’s gift count (56 gifts): you currently have Six geese a’ laying, 10 golden rings, 12 calling birds, 12 French hens, ten turtledoves and six partridges in their respective pear trees (begin thinking abut gardening tools and hiring an illegal immigrant.) According to the old ladies I know in the St. John’s Rosary Cenacle group, today is the Feast of St. Egwin of Worcester, known as a protector of orphans and widows. Usually, the Feast of the Holy Family falls on the first Sunday after Christmas; this year, since Christmas fell on a Sunday, today is the feast day. Who knew? (Those ladies did!)
Geese are very noisome: loud, quarrelsome and know to befoul anywhere they are. I’m sorry to have to say this but kill the gaggle of geese immediately (after five, it’s considered a gaggle.) If you don’t, your neighbors will.
Really, they’re filthy disgusting birds – contact your local upscale poultry purveyor. Geese lay approximately one egg every 1.5 days.
Tonight is also the Fifth night of Kwanzaa.
