TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

This will be our 28th Christmas together. That's right, it's hard for me to believe, but it is. Twenty-eight years ago I did the Twelve Days of Christmas for Scott. Let me share what I did with you.

I started on December 11, 1981 (started it early because he was leaving for Lancaster, CA for Christmas Day with his family).

Day 1 - One picture of me
Day 2 - Two movie tickets
Day 3 - Three wooden spoon ornaments
Day 4 - Four crocheted stockings
Day 5 - Five course meal (beverage, salad, soup, main course, dessert)
Day 6 - Six chocolate chip cookies
Day 7 - Seven quilted ball ornaments
Day 8 - Eight knitted bell ornaments
Day 9 - Nine crocheted wreath ornaments
Day 10- Ten pop top Santa ornaments
Day 11- Eleven pieces of home made fudge
Day 12- Twelve hours spent making a quilt (he still has it)

Shae did the same thing for her boyfriend last year. She started on December 13, 2008. Notice the difference in the lists and how much our lives have changed.

Day 1 - One fleece Batman blanket
Day 2 - Two V-necks
Day 3 - Three sweaters
Day 4 - Four movie tickets
Day 5 - Five piece Batman sheet set
Day 6 - Six Sprinkles cupcakes
Day 7 - Seven DVD's
Day 8 - Eight pieces of fudge
Day 9 - Nine comic books
Day 10- Ten home made cookies
Day 11- Eleven Batman tatoos
Day 12- a Batman tee shirt

Start planning now for the one you love . . . it's never too soon!
