We have a little elf, who is leaving us Christmas gifts.  They are leaving us the 12 days of Christmas gifts in secret!  What a blast this game is for our family, the kids love receiving the gifts each day!

The first night started with a ding and dash.  Daddy answered the door, and no one was there, just a can of pears and a note.

The poem says:

This glad Christmas season is so full of fun.

We’re happy to share with your family, then run.

How grateful we are that you’re playing our game.

You’ll now find that Christmas won’t be the same.

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!

Each day 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 kids wanted to eat the pears right away so I had to save the label.

Day 2

I think our mysterious friends know us very well.  Look closely at the paragraph on this surprise.

Day 3

I really need this the way I’ve been feeling.

Day 4

So far, day 4 has been my favorite.  ”The calling birds flew South for the winter. Please accept this substitute.”

Day 5

The kids really want to dig into these pop rings, one of their favorites.  Maybe for church this morning.
