I just finished our last day of doing the twelve days of Christmas. Our family and another family did it for a less active couple in the ward. I pretty much did it all by myself this year but am excited to keep the tradition going and having the kids help out when they get older. What a great way to do something nice for someone else over the holidays! For those who might not know what this is its when you pixie (ringing the door bell and running but leaving a gift behind) a family every night starting on the 12th and going to the 23rd. The first night you give them one thing, the next two, then three...all the way to 12. It is a lot of fun! I remember doing it a few times when I was a kid and knew I had to add it to my list of traditions to start with my family. Here's our list:
1st day: A delicious apple pie
3rd day: 3 white mugs
5th day: 5 hand lotions
7th day: 7 bar's of fudge (homemade)
9th day: 9 packs of gum
11th day: 11 packs of hot chocolate
P.S Ty pulled the Christmas tree completely down today! What a nut. Its a good thing I love him!
