Twelve Days of Christmas by Amber at www.mom-stuff.com

Last year I decided I wanted to bring some joy to a family’s life that I knew was struggling due to the troubled economy.  Everybody needs a little bit of cheer all the time but especially at Christmas.  I focused on family time to bring some joy to this family each evening. This is my version of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

My version of the 12 days of Christmas is very different than the original version.  I took a variety of poems and printed them out on Christmas stationary.  To use my format buy stationary with printing across the tip as in a header. I then bought or made an item that goes along with each poem I have listed. The items I included at the bottom of each poem.  I put each item into a Christmas sack with the tag tied with curly ribbon.  Each day I would deliver the poem and the item to my family’s house.  My hope was to create a family bonding time for each of the 12 days before Christmas and add some Christmas JOY. I hope you will enjoy this and have a Merry Christmas. (more…)
