12 Days of Christmas Service for Families

Share the true spirit of Christmas by giving the 12 Days of Christmas Service to someone in need. Our girls love this tradition and count down the days until it’s time to deliver the bags.

Each year we like to choose a couple people who need a little extra cheer this time of year. It has usually been windows or widowers, that we think would like to have a little something extra to do during the holidays.

We talk to our kids each year before hand and see if they have anyone in mind. This has been such a great experience for our family to see the needs beyond our own. I have enjoyed watching my kids choose who they think could use a little extra love.

Here’s what you’ll need to make 12 Days of Christmas Service for Families:

Step 1:

I printed the circles on different colors of paper to give some variety. Cut out the circles and set aside.

You can find the download below.

Step 2:

Wrap each small gift individually.

Step 3:

Once all the gifts are wrapped, start adding the free printable tags to each gift with tape.

Step 4:

Get the Large Christmas Totes ready for the gifts to be added. Since we deliver to about 5-7 different homes, we make an assembly line and each person is responsible to drop one day into each bag. This way we know that everyone has all the gifts for the 12 days. Of course mom and dad are quality control.

Step 5:

Once all the bags are stuffed with the gifts, you are ready to deliver your 12 Days of Christmas Service.

Wait until it’s dark outside and have someone run the bag up to a home and drop it off. You could always drop a gift off each night, but since we are doing so many homes, it’s easier for us to drop them all off at once.
