Counting Up to Christmas

This Advent calendar also appears annually in our house.  24 doors hide 24 birds -- an assortment of bluejays, cardinals, goldfinches, robins, and one or two varieties we can't quite identify.  On Christmas Day a white dove appears to perch on the roof.
 


This calendar always puts me in mind of The Birds' Christmas Carol, a sweet and sentimental story by Kate Douglas Wiggin that actually has nothing to do with birds.
