This year 12 days before Christmas we picked a family in our neighborhood & did the 12 days of Christmas. It was great. (Someone did us last year.) Starting 12 days before Christmas we dropped off a piece of a nativity set with a scripture. The night before Christmas Eve we sent over a book and then on Christmas Eve the baby Jesus.It was so much fun. Our kids loved it. We would set the piece on their porch (wrapped with the scripture) then ring the bell & run. We could hear them giggle & scream thank you into the darkness. This is a tradition we want to always continue.

I so wanted to do this this year but never got to it. Maybe next year. I'm glad it was a great experience for you.
Someone did this for us the first year I joined the church. Jacob still has the nativity set, we finally thought of a family to do this too, but they were out of town too much to catch them this year. They still have lots of little Children, so we are going to do this next year.
This is one of those things that sounds as fun for the giver as it is the receiver!!
I think this is such a fun idea. We have never done it, but I know Kristi has been doing it for years and that's inspiring.
