    Smile 12 days of Christmas: printable, fun gift idea

    I am so excited about this idea!  I'd been trying to come up with something fun for my grandma, who is housebound with round-the-clock caregivers, and really doesn't need much of anything for Christmas.  I stumbled across this site, and love the idea!  I'm adapting it slightly to make it appropriate for my grandma.  It's the 12 days of Christmas song, broken down so that there is a gift a day.  If you want to use this idea, you'll have to hurry-- the recepient needs to start on the 13th of December.  I'm putting this together Saturday and delivering it Sunday to my grandma.  I think she'll get a kick out of it.
