12 Day of Christmas Printables
A few years ago I shared how our family does the 12 Days of Christmas each year for some neighbors that are elderly and alone for the Holidays. This is a family tradition that we truly love. To make things easier for us, so we are able to do more people, we deliver all the gifts on December 13. My girls get excited to wrap each gift for our recipients.

12 Days of Christmas Ideas
One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is the 12 Days of Christmas. For as long as I can remember, my mom has been making up fun little packages of 12 Days gifts for widows or widowers. She would drive up to 40 miles to deliver these packages, most the time not even knowing the person who was recieiving them, just finding out that they needed Christmas cheer. We have kind of done this on and off for a few years, but decided to pick this up last year as a family and delivered … [Read more...] about 12 Days of Christmas Ideas
