Every year we chose to do a secret Santa or 12 Days of Christmas for someone. My Grandma. Mom, and Sisters usually all participate. This year we chose one of our neighbors who has become a good friend to our family. The kids have been so excited everyday to deliver her items. That is part of why we love to do it, because it gives them excitement and joy in giving to someone else. The first night she was outside until after 9:00 doing some stuff with her lights. The kids would go out to check every five minutes to see if she had gone it yet-so they could leave the first nights item and run-hahaha.
(I plan to post everyday to update to not only share what we did, but also give some ideas if you are thinking of doing your own 12 Days of Christmas. A little note-I printed the tags from Christmas and then wrote on the back of each one whatever that days item was.)
The first Day of Christmas-1 Cozy Quilt.
The second Day of Christmas-2 Matching Pillows
The third Day of Christmas-3 Christmas Presents
The fourth Day of Christmas-4 Avon Products
The fifth Day of Christmas-5 Golden Rings (also known as donuts)
The sixth Day of Christmas-6 geese a-laying (or at least six eggs)

The ninth Day of Christmas-9 delicious candies
