Patience Brewster Partridge and a Pear Tree Ornament

"On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree..." and here it is - a delightful partridge perched high atop a small pear tree, with a larger pear hanging from the trunk and a gaily tied green bow and ribbons depending from the pear. Total length of this Patience Brewster KRINKLES piece is 8 inches. All who see this ornament will recognize and appreciate the symbolism. For those who subscribe to the theory that the carol is a code for memorizing the catechism, the partridge in a pear tree refers to Jesus, the single most important gift from God to his people on earth. The Twelve Days of Christmas remains a favorite carol of our Christmas holidays.
