Did you know that the Twelve Days of Christmas starts on December 13th?!
This year, I sent a package to a brother that lives far away.
Each day, there is a Christmas story to read along with a coordinating
treat. Below is the list of stories and a description of the treat that
goes with it.

| Day 1, 3,4,5,7,8,10,11 (perishable) |

| Day 2, Day 9, Day 12 (non perishable) |

Day 12: The
Legend of the Candy Cane (A candy cane & 7 sets

I searched all around town to find coordinating candies. I had the best luck at places like Dollar Tree, Walmart, Walgreens.
I wrapped each candy individually, printed out the story for that day, put it in an envelope and
wrote on the envelope what day it is supposed to be opened.
I also included this poem:
We
thought this present would be good
to get you in the
Christmas mood.
Each day there's a
story,
they're all really neat.
Along with each story
comes a special treat.
Open each package one by
one
We hope it brings lots
of Christmas fun!
to get you in the Christmas mood.

comes a special treat.
