12 Days of Christmas

Our family was chosen by some other wonderful person/family to be their target for a 12 days of Christmas. Every night we received a cute note and a little treat that went along with the theme. I just thought I would post it for you all to read and get inspired from, for next year. Thanks to whom ever chose us. Our family enjoyed every night of it.

On The First Day of Christmas, your true love gave to you a partridge in a pear tree.... Now in the song, it's partridge and pear- when I looked, my trees were all bare. So I ran to the store at a hurried pace. Pears they had plenty, but no birds in the place! (pears)
Each night we'll bring something please don't watch for us coming. If you catch us too soon, it will spoil the fun that's coming!
The song that we sing twelve days in a row won't get tiresome with treats from friends you know.
But to keep up the mystery and the fun, you won't know who we are until we're all done.

On the second day of Christmas your true love gave to you-two turtle doves...
Did you know two turtle doves are extremely hard to find? So here are Turtles'n Dove- The chocolate candy kind. (Dove Chocolates)

On the third day of Christmas, your true love gave to you- three french hens...
Now hens are chickens if they are french, or not! Here is chicken noodle soup to heat in the pot! (chicken noodle soup)

On the fourth day of Christmas, your true love gave to you- four calling birds...
The calling birds have all flown away. They're visiting the south to see the view. Instead of a call, they left these few things, some pencils and paper their gift to you! (notebook and pen)

On the fifth day of Christmas, your true love gave to you- five golden rings...
Only five golden rings? There really are more of gold pineapple rings I got from the store. (can of pineapple)

On the sixth day of Christmas, your true love gave to you- six geese a laying...
You really don't want messy geese all over the house do you? How about some of the eggs they left behind. (6 Easter eggs filled with candy)

On the seventh day of Christmas, your true love gave to you- seven swans a swimming..
On this day of Christmas how nice it would be if seven swans a swimming your family could see. The pond was quite empty since the swans have gone south, we only found goldfish to put in your mouth! (goldfish crackers)

On the eighth day of Christmas your true love gave to you- eight maids a milking...
The maids were all milking, milk foaming like suds, and then they all vanished just leaving "milk duds"

On the ninth day of Christmas, your true love gave to you, nine ladies dancing...
Here some canes used by the ladies to help them walk home after they were out dancing all night. (candy canes)

One the tenth day of Christmas your true love gave to you, ten lords-a-leapin...
Ten lords a leaping would be an awesome gift, but they got stuck while jumping through a white snowdrift. We had to be content, you see, to watch the popcorn fly. So we've added a sweet topping to it for you try. (caramel popcorn)

On the eleventh day of Christmas, your true love gave to you- eleven pipers piping...
Those eleven pipers piping reminds us of our plumber, to leave him on the doorstep would be a real bummer. Now make your water piping hot, and fill your cups with care. We're giving you some hot chocolate we know you'll love to share. (hot cocoa)

We simply can't believe this game is almost through. We've simply had a jolly time bringing these gifts to you. With only one more night, don't you wish you knew, just exactly who we are and why we're doing this to you?

On the twelfth day of Christmas, your true love gave to you- twelve drummers drumming...
Christmas Eve has arrived and on this our last night. One dozen drummers would be a grand sight. But the noise of their drums would hurt your head. So eat all these cookies we bring you instead. (cookies in a tin)

And we wish you a joyous Noel. We know that hoping our names we will tell. But our name stays a secret. We just cannot share it wouldn't be right. No it wouldn't. So there! Merry Christmas.
