Is there anything more magical than
a child's anticipation of Christmas?
I love seeing my kids bouncing with excitement as
the lights sparkle, the gift wrap tears and the sounds
of merriment fill the air for about 10 mins.
And then what's left?
Torn wrapping paper and discarded toy boxes.
of merriment fill the air for about 10 mins.
And then what's left?
Torn wrapping paper and discarded toy boxes.
Want a great way to extend the magic of
Christmas for longer than just one day?
Christmas for longer than just one day?
Give the gift of the
Twelve Days of Christmas

The idea of the 12 days of Christmas is to spread
out the merriment by giving one
gift a day for twelve days.
The gifts can be any
smaller items:

bubble bath
candy
book
water bottle
popcorn
matchbox cars

Each of the small gifts gets wrapped separately
and numbered for each of the 12 days,
then put into a larger gift bag.
Download and print the free gift bag tag here.
Print the tag on white cardstock and mount
to the front of a Christmas gift bag.
Download daily gift tags here, print on white cardstock.
On the gift tags, write a small verse
like the 12 days of Christmas song.
For example- "On the 1st day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
some socks for my feet."
After the gift is wrapped, tie on a tag with the number
of the day it should be opened.
Get your free printable daily numbers here,
which can be punched out with
a 1 inch circle punch.
Repeat with all of the gifts and put all of them
into the gift bag and
it's ready to give!
It's such a fun way to give
the gift of excitement!
Sit back and watch the recipient open!
