My assigned day was the second day! This is what I imagine when I think of a turtle dove. Otherwise, if you google an actual turtledove its a pretty plain little bird. Nothing against the turtledove, I just like my reptilian flying creature idea!
On this second day of Christmas Candace has some fabulous turtle doves winging their way to The Doodle Diner, a wee bit later. In the mean time, please enjoy this little turtle dove teaser.
Sadly, being a partridge, Penelope possessed poor reading skills. So it was only after having trained vigorously to become the next pear-eating phenom that Penelope realized the sign, in fact, read “pie-eating contest”.

Although the tradition and history of the Twelve Days of Christmas is deep, complex and fascinating and the twelve days typically begin on December 25th and go to January 6th, we at the Doodle Diner decided to break tradition and start our twelve days today and go until Christmas Eve.
We’re just rebels like that.
So, the Doodle Diner denizens would love it if you would check back each day until Christmas Eve to take a gander at what illustration goodness we have in store for each of the next twelve days.
Check out the Second Day , Third Day and Fourth Day.
Oh, and make sure to have yourself a merry little Chrismahannakwanza!
