I have the most fun as I prepare for my 12-Days package that goes to each of the kids. My Christmas present ideas are usually pretty lame (gift cards) so I like to have some fun with the pre-Christmas presents.

Pieces of a puzzle filled up four days, scattered throughout the twelve days. I picked puzzles of places Pat and I had been (Paris, Venice and Burano) and included a photo that we took in each of these places. I hoped that the photo was enough like the first bit of puzzle that they would think that was the picture they were making. They were instructed to send me a photo of the finished puzzle for an extra treat. Elizabeth and crew were the first past the finish line.

I struggle to find games that everyone might like. This year each family got a game of Jacks. I remember playing this for hours and was actually quite good at it.

They also received instructions on how to play a card game – Garbage – as well as another game played with cards called Ask Me Anything which I purchased last Christmas when we were in Victoria.

I added chocolates, cake-in-a-mug mixes and some word games.

I already have four ideas for next year’s package.
