This year our family had the fun of being visited by the 12 Days of Christmas. Each night (even on the days that we were bombarded with snow--the final tally according to the ruler in my front yard was 16") we had a little treat left on our front porch with a funny little poem that related the gift to the original 12 Days of Christmas. We really looked forward to it and whoever it was was really good at hightailing it out of there before we caught a glimpse of who it was.
Tonight we got a bag with tonight AND tomorrows gifts in it. And they LEFT IT ANONYMOUSLY!!! Aaaaah!!!! I need closure, people!! I was so looking forward to thanking these friends for bringing some fun to these last two weeks of snow and drudgery. But since they WON'T TELL ME WHO THEY ARE, I am going to hope that maybe they are followers of this little blog and they can hear me say how thankful I am. Thanks for choosing us and making us feel special. As much fun as it is to give treats, it really is fun and exciting to receive, too. So have a Merry Christmas and we'll eat some English Shortbread for you! Oh, and if you will please let me know your secret for choosing perfectly ripe pears, I would appreciate it. I always buy pears that are rock hard and those that the partridge left were PERFECT.

Well, I can guarantee that it wasn't me! How fun, though!
How fun! Jillise was telling me about your 12 days of Christmas, she seems pretty tickled by the whole thing. And they must be pretty quick to get away so fast in all this snow!
how fun! I remember doing the 12 days once for an elderly couple when I was in YW. Obviously, I was NOT a fast runner because they spotted me one night. Pretty sad when you can't beat a 70 year old grandma. :)
Our family has been visited by the same thing. We love our little "Christmas Angel" My girls love hearing the door knock and then find no one there. It really has been fun for our family!
Merry Christmas! I would love to say it was me, but I am not on the ball this year AT all, so I definitely can't take the credit for something so fun. But whoever did do it, pretty cool! Let us know when you find out, *if* you find out :)
How fun! You will have to give me the list of treats you got so we can do that next year for someone - maybe change it up a bit:) Merry Christmas and thank you for the Vanilla extract:)
How sweet! It's neat to hear how much fun it is to recieve.
This is the first year we didn't do the 12 days of Christmas to someone and my kids missed it. Your posts makes me realize how great it is.
