Get the Large Christmas Totes ready for the gifts to be added. Since we deliver to about 5-7 different homes, we make an assembly line and each person is responsible to drop one day into each bag. This way we know that everyone has all the gifts for the 12 days. Of course mom and dad are quality control.

Once all the bags are stuffed with the gifts, you are ready to deliver your 12 Days of Christmas Service.

Wait until it’s dark outside and have someone run the bag up to a home and drop it off. You could always drop a gift off each night, but since we are doing so many homes, it’s easier for us to drop them all off at once.
