On the Fourth Day of Christmas.....

"On the Fourth Day of Christmas my True Love gave to me..... 4 Calling Birds"

 OK so I don't think these are QUITE the birds they are talking about in the song but I thought it funny!

Calling birds or singing birds such as canaries are the 4 gift in our song. These 4 birds refer to the Four Gospels of the Bible. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These books proclaim Gods grace and salvation and his love of sending his one and only son to save the world.

If you were to buy 4 calling birds or Canaries you would be paying around $100+ a piece. According to my sources and my research for this song I have found the total would come out to be $519.96. So all together..
 "On the fourth day of Christmas my True Love gave to me, 4 calling birds $519.96

3 french hens $165
2 Turtle doves $125
and a Partridge in a Pair tree" $204.99
Bringing the total cost of today's gift coming out to a total of $1014.95. Wow my True Love must really love me. This gift giving is coming out to be very costly!=) Stay tuned for tomorrow.......
