Several years ago I wrote about something super fun we did
one year for Christmas- Ring and Run!
Ring and Run is based very loosely on the song The 12 Days of Christmas
and is kind of a Christmas random acts of Kindness!
It was so much fun I'm thinking of doing it again this year!
Here's how it works:
You choose a family to surprise and every day for the 12 days leading up to Christmas
you leave a little treat on their doorstep along with part of a poem,
ring their doorbell, and run away!
The year we did it we chose a sweet family with 3 little girls and I cannot tell you how much fun we had buying and delivering little treats for them!
Although this tradition is supposed to be totally anonymous,
we altered that rule just a bit and let the parents know what we were up to.
{Sneaking around in someone's front yard might tend to cause the police to get called and so we wanted them to know that we were not prowlers or burglars & filled them in on what we were doing.}
It was so much fun sneaking up to their front door, leaving a treat, and speeding away!
If you just want a copy of the poem, you can find it HERE.
{Only the first page is listed below but the link is all of the poem!}
I made some fun tags that you can use to print out
to leave with y our gifts- and even included the gift for the night
at the top of each tag.
You can print out your own tags HERE.
{Don't try to just save the little images above, they'll be too little and blurry!}
Who can you bless with Christmas Ring and Run?
