12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
This is a cute activity to do with your kids. Here is a "ring and run" activity to do with the children. Buy the items listed below, make their tags, and have the kids start dropping them off, one each day of course, to a special friend on December 13. Do this after dark
and don't get caught!
ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you...a partridge in a pear tree. Sorry, but we can't find the partridge, so we are giving you some
pears from the tree the partridge flew away from. (attach to a can of pears)
ON THE SECOND DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you...two turtle
doves...but don't have any...will candy turtles with a bar of Dove soap do?
(attach note to a box or plate of caramel turtles w/ a boxed bar of Dove
soap.)
ON THE THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you...three French
hens...well, we don't have any French hens, so we're giving you some chicken
noodle soup, compliments of the three French hens. (attach to can of chicken
noodle soup).
ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you...four calling
birds...we can't find those calling birds though! Here are 4 messages they
left for you before they flew off! (attach to 4 messages describing what a
wonderful person they are)
ON THE FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you...five golden
rings, but sorry, we're too poor for golden rings, but will some golden
pineapple rings do? (attach to can of pineapple rings)
ON THE SIXTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you...six geese a
laying, but we know you don't really want the mess of six geese all over your
house, do you? How about some eggs that they left behind! (attach to a half
dozen eggs)
ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you...seven swans a
swimming! OK, we looked for the swans, but couldn't find them, but we did
find some bubble bath they used while they were swimming! (attach to bottle
of bubble bath)
ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you...eight maids
a-milking. Here is some milk we got from the eight maids -- we think they
must have been milking some brown cows! (attach to a container of chocolate
milk)
ON THE NINTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you...nine ladies
dancing...Here are some canes used by the nine ladies who were out dancing
all night! (attach to a nine candy canes)
ON THE TENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS: your true love gave to you...ten
lords-a-leapin' - here is some "Ben Gay", which is highly recommended by the
ten Lords we saw out jumping around. (attach to a package of Ben Gay rubbing
lotion)
ON THE ELEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you...eleven pipers
piping, so here is a pipe of your own, have fun with it, but don't "blow" the
whole day! (attach to a bubble pipe and bubble solution)
ON THE TWELFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you...twelve
drummers drumming, but we figured twelve drummers drumming would take up way
too much room, so we drummed up some cookies for you...hope they keep this
from being just another hum-"drum" day for you! (attach to a plate of
cookies)

Thats cute.
I had friends do this for us last year, I had never heard of it, and it was sooo fun receiving all the little gifts each night...it was a little different though, they signed it "your pixie friends brought you...." and they changed the wording to fit what they were bringing, but it still related to the song. It was one of the neatest things anyone has ever done for us! (oh, and the items were different too)
