Receiving unexpected gifts is such an awesome feeling. But you know what’s also great? Giving unexpected gifts. Have you ever thought about doing a neighborhood gift exchange game for Christmas? Last year, we had a fun, unexpected gift land on our doorstep along with a super cute note that encouraged us to pass it forward and give a gift to our neighbor. The gift was a a cute red container filled with some goodies from the Target dollar aisle – candies, Christmas decor, etc. The accompanying note read:
A CHRISTMAS SNOWMAN BROUGHT YOU A TREAT
YOU’RE THEIR FAVORITE NEIGHBOR ON THE STREET
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAY
MAY THIS TREAT BRIGHTEN YOUR WEEKDAY
PUT THIS SIGN WHERE IT CAN BE FOUND
BY ALL THE CHRISTMAS SNOWMEN IN TOWN
MAKE A COPY AND TREAT TO SHARE
YOU’VE GOT 2 DAYS TO SHOW OTHERS YOU CARE
DROP A TREAT ON YOUR NEIGHBOR’S DOOR
IT COULD EVEN BE BOUGHT FROM A STORE
RING THE BELL AND RUN AWAY FAST
A SMILING NEIGHBOR IS MY FORECAST
