The 12 Days of Christmas begin…

Did you begin?

For those of you doing the Stealthy Ninja Christmas Angel 12-days of Christmas, today is the day to begin! Not sure how? Here are a few ideas below. Of course it depends on size of family, age of kids, etc.  Include a note (disguise your writing if they know you well!) and an encouraging verse or truth from God’s word. Most of all, pray for the family each day and have fun blessing them!

1 pillar candle

2 small loaves of homemade bread

3 candy canes

4 packets of hot chocolate

5 $5 gift card to Starbucks

6 slices of pie (a whole pie sliced)

7 Christmas cookies

8 8-pack of pretty notecards

9 tea-bags (individually wrapped, assorted)

10 small Dove heart chocolates

11 (Christmas Eve) Christmas/worship CD with 11 songs

12 Fresh cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven (or muffins)

Finally, I just love all the precious Christmas cards in the mailbox! I love reading Christmas letters, and I just sit and stare at the precious pics of friends and families we rarely get to see.  But then I always hate to just put them away.  So another way to make the most of them?  Christmas Card Prayers. Each day when you open a Christmas card or two read them and then put it in the middle of the kitchen table. Then that night, when you do family prayer time at dinner, you can pray for the families whose card you received that day. Fun way to bless those who have taken the time to wish you a Merry Christmas.

May your next 12 days, anticipating Christ’s birth, be blessed as you love others, celebrate Christ, and let your heart prepare Him room. Have fun and thanks for reading!
