Christmas: Day 2 of 12The main emblem for ‘Boxing Day’ is the two Turtle doves. Not sure what is so turtle-esque about these, but they are symbolic of love and friendship and biblically a representative of the Christ child.
I’m not sure what I’d do if I had one of these in a gift box, let alone two of them. If they were still alive from being sealed in scotch-tape and wrapping paper I’d set them free.
I fondly remember the turtle doves being used (as ornaments obviously) in a touching scene at the end of the 2nd Home Alone movie, where Kevin McCallister gives one of the two to his chosen special friend – the scary yet good-hearted pidgeon-lady whilst he kept the other.
I guess these make an alternative to friendship rings, cept they can't fit around your finger.
