Is this it?

Here is a "ring and run" activity to do with the
children. Buy the items listed below, make their
tags, and have the kids start dropping them off,
one each day of course, to a special friend on
December 13. Do this after dark, or leave them
on the porch when they aren't home, and don't
get caught! This is a good way to that giving
can be fun.

ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your
true love gave to you...a partridge in a pear
tree. Sorry, but we can't find the partridge, so
we are givng you some pears from the tree the
partridge flew away from. (attach to a can of
pears)

ON THE SECOND DAY OF CHRISTMAS,
your true love gave to you...two turtle
doves...but dont' have any...will candy turtles
with a bar of Dove soap do? (attach note to a
box or plate of caramel turtles w/ a boxed bar
of Dove soap.)

ON THE THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS,
your true love gave to you...three French
hens...well, we don't have any French hens, so
we're giving you some chicken noodle soup,
compliments of the three French hens. (attach
to can of chicken noodle soup).

ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS,
your true love gave to you...four calling
birds...we can't find those calling birds though!
Here are 4 messages they left for you before
they flew off! (attach to 4 messages describing
what a wonderful person they are)

ON THE FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your
true love gave to you...five golden rings, but
sorry, we're too poor for golden rings, but will
some golden pineapple rings do? (attach to can
of pineapple rings)

ON THE SIXTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS,
your true love gave to you...six geese a laying,
but we know you don't really want the mess of
six geese all over your house, do you? How
about some eggs that they left behind! (attach to
a half dozen eggs)

ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS,
your true love gave to you...seven swans a
swimming! OK, we looked for the swans, but
couldn't find them, but we did find some bubble
bath they used while they were swimming!
(attach to bottle of bubble bath)

ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS,
your true love gave to you...eight maids
a-milking. Here is some milk we got from the
eight maids -- we think they must have been
milking some brown cows! (attach to a
container of chocolate milk)

ON THE NINTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS,
your true love gave to you...nine ladies
dancing...Here are some canes used by the nine
ladies who were out dancing all night! (attach to
a nine candy canes)

ON THE TENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS:
your true love gave to you...ten lords-a-leapin' -
here is some "Ben Gay", which is highly
recommended by the ten Lords we saw out
jumping around. (attach to a package of Ben
Gay rubbing lotion)

ON THE ELEVENTH DAY OF
CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to
you...eleven pipers piping, so here is a pipe of
your own, have fun with it, but don't "blow" the
whole day! (attach to a bubble pipe and bubble
solution)

ON THE TWELFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS,
your true love gave to you...twelve drummers
drumming, but we figured twelve drummers
drumming would take up way too much room,
so we drummed up some cookies for you...hope
they keep this from being just another
hum-"drum" day for you! (attach to a plate of cookies)

Thanks Beada, Santa was very good. Hope you had a good Christmas too!

Geez, Evelyn, I don't know if this is it or not! LOL Even if it's not, I love it! Thanks!

Beada Here's Another. Sue
Evelyn I like the one you posted :)
12 days

How cute. I think I'll do this for my brother and his family this year. Maybe even my secret pal at work

Thanks for bring this up sharoncrafts! What a cute idea.
I don't remember seeing this last year.

I actually did this last year for two friends and they loved it. I used white paper bags and made my own envelopes out of brown paper to hold the tags, or clues. Then I folded over the tops of the bags and tied the envelopes to the top with raffia. Each envelope was numbered. I delivered the whole set at once, 13 days before Christmas. It was so much fun hearing from them day to day as they opened them. I'm going to do it for my mother and MIL this year. (If you look at grandmas site, I had some alternate poems that she included). Have fun!

This is really cute.
A friend also suggested dove candy on the second day to go with the turtle candy.

I'm doing this for my Granddaughter (13) for Christmas and her birthday New Year Day- so it will start on Christmas, and I am doing it the hard way- Partridge and her Christmas present on day 1, 2 dove ornaments and a pear on day 2, 3 eggs labelled Oeuf (egg in French), 2 turtle candies and a partridge ornament on day 3 etc. Have you any idea how many birds I have to find, or contrive? I think it is 330 but did the sums in my head so am probably wrong.
