VDV Four Advent Day 18: You've Been Jingled

This is another favourite of mine from last year, and it is the last giving day we had planned in our Advent activity list. We chose 3 neighbours (we made sure they were different from last year) and gave them a mini gift bag. We stuffed the bags with Bug's custom made Christmas card (drawn pictures that I collaborated into one in photoshop), some hot chocolate, some Christmas goodies and of course some candy canes. I also made a Christmas tree ornament that says "You've Been Jingled 2013" so our recipient has something they can bring out every holiday season to remember this random act of kindness. Bug and Bear helped stuff the bags and I put a little label with a rhyming verse to say what this is for. Then we went out on a trek through the large amounts of snow our neighbourhood got this winter and left our surprise hanging from their mailbox or door knobs.
Francis was incognito this morning, dressed as a big, white snowman.
