Do You Do The 12 Days Of Christmas??

If you like sneaking around making your family and friends happy, this 12 day Christmas gift idea list will make your mission possible! 
Though many people celebrate the twelve days of Christmas starting on the 13th or 14th of December (depending on whether they want to deliver the last gift on Christmas Eve or Christmas day), the 12 Days of Christmas actually start with Christmas Day and finish  on 5th January. I guess I would like getting gifts no matter when they came!

Whichever you choose, you should drop off the first 12 day Christmas gift idea with a letter or poem explaining the operation and how you plan to carry it out. You can do things a couple of ways:

• During a time when you don't think you will be noticed (check for anyone following you), drop off each daily gift on the recipient's porch or doorstep. In your first note, inform them that they should under no circumstances try to find you out. If they do, they risk the whole mission being called off. Your identity will be revealed on the 12th day of Christmas cheer.
• If you will be unable to get the gifts to them each day, hide the gifts inside their home or with an insider (family member/room mate). Each day, enlist the help of one stranger to help you call the recipient and inform them of that day's gift location. One lady says, "Bank tellers, librarians, receptionists, local business owners and literally a stranger near a payphone were all willing to call for me to keep my identity a secret until the last day."
