Description:

I just had a Christmas in July celebration with my relatives, so thought I'd put this swap out there. I participated in this one last year and was skunked on, so more reason to start it. USA swappers with a 4.8 rating or better can participate.

You will send a box of 12 wrapped and labeled gifts, coordinating to the 12 days leading up to Christmas, as in the song. For example, for the 2nd day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 2 turtle doves, so you could send 2 sheets of stickers wrapped together, the 5th day is 5 golden rings, you could send 5 candles wrapped up together, etc.

Gifts should be wrapped in sets for each day and labeled, for a total of 12 individually wrapped gifts. That way your partner will know what gift to open for each day. All gifts should be sent in one package. Feel free to ask any questions.

Just letting everyone know that I will be on vacation from Aug. 3-10, so will not have a computer.

I love this idea... growing up our family would pick a few needy families & try to sneakily put on their doorstep all the things they would need to celebrate Christmas - always starting with a real Christmas tree (with pear & partridge ornaments) & ending with gifts for the whole family in 12 cylinder boxes that we painted to look like drums. It was a BLAST especially when the families would try to catch us!

This sounds like so much fun. I was in several Swapbot Christmas swaps last year and just loved it. Even when I didn't receive from one person, I didn't let that dampen my spirits. This should be a blast. Joan

The Twelve Days of Christmas (The 12 Days of Christmas) start with Christmas Day and finish with the eve of Epiphany on 5th January. Jayme, I copied and pasted that statement from a search that I did because I didn't know. Sooooo - I'm thinking I will open mine, one a day, starting on Dec. 25 and ending on Jan. 5th. Joan
