The 12 days of Christmas is such a fun tradition. You can pick on family, or person, and give them all 12 gifts, or get a group of people together, divide up the gifts, and everyone can help deliver. One year, a group of about eight of my friends did the 12 days of Christmas for a family, whose mother was going through chemotherapy, and it was such a joy for all of us to serve this family. The children would race to the door in excitement each night, and the parents felt the love from their neighbors.
Below are 24 gift ideas, but you only need to pick out 12. Many of these items can be found at the dollar store. Print out the tags and tape to the items, deliver one a day, and don’t get caught! There is no specific order to the gifts, but it does help to start with #1-popcorn. It explains what you are doing. If you deliver the first gift on December 13th, you will finish on December 24th.
