12 Days BEFORE Christmas

Today is Day 3 of our little Twelve Days BEFORE Christmas event for the kids. This is the two weeks before the 25th when Santa puts out daily little gifts for the wee ones at the front door or in their stockings. The gifts come with a little snippet of the Twelve Days Of Christmas poem and an addendum. Here was yesterday's:

On the second day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
two turtle doves.

Unfortunately, those little birds flew away.
So here's some Play-Doh, of which I know you're aware.
Just a couple things to note:
Always be kind to each other and remember to share.

Love,
Santa Claus

The kids are certainly ecstatic over this, which occurred last year as well. It's amazing how something like a simple box of cereal and a gallon of milk could put an all day smile on them when they know it's from the big jolly himself.

Here's to the goodness of magic. Glad they still believe in it.
