Today we start our 12 days of Christmas for a neighbor. That is when we give them a little gift every day that loosely correlate with the song. This year we picked a couple that doesn’t have little kids at home, so some of our stupid toy gifts may have to be changed. Here’s a run down of what we did last year. So, I think we’ll do pears or something with pears or partridges or trees or something like that for tonight. Too bad I don’t have a partridge family lunch box, and we could put pears in it. But I don’t, so it’s time to do something creative.
But in blog land, there are several people doing 12 days of giveaways contests.
There’s one at 
Design Mom has some contests going on HERE.
Alpaca Farmgirl has twelve giveaways on her blog, too.
So, even if you aren’t doing anything special to count down the 12 days until Christmas, you can always enter some fun contests!
I did the 12 Final Days of Bachelorhood for my hubby before we got married. It was the most memorable 12 days I’ve ever celebrated.
That is such a cute idea!
For day one, we ended up giving them “A Partridge and a pair of socks”. My daughter drew a little cartoon of a partridge picking some socks off a tree, and we gave them some cute Halloween socks. Day two, I think will be a package of M and M’s and say, ” ON the 2nd day we gave you two M’s.”
