TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS · DAY SIX
Day 6: Six Geese a-Laying
Six geese a-laying offer a cheerful mix of birds, eggs, and cozy kitchen ideas. Choose a goose-inspired gift, something for a favorite breakfast, or a creative surprise they can make their own.
Geese, breakfast comforts, and something to hatch
