While the 12 Days of Christmas technically begin after Christmas, a
lot of people like to count down the 12 days leading up to December
25.  This week's tip came as a result of last week's contest.  It was
such a good entry I decided to share it with the list.

Some of you might think that I get thousands or hundreds of entries
to my contests every week. I usually get 10-30 entries. So, go ahead
and enter. Your chances of winning are excellent.

Have a wonderful week. -- Michael

The 12 Day Tree
by Sunny
http://theromantic.com/

I have a small artificial Christmas tree that fits perfectly on the
night stand in my bedroom.  I decorate it with tiny white lights
(great mood lighting at night!) and hang 12 small pieces of paper that
are rolled up and tied with a piece of gold ribbon.  On each piece of
paper I write a special message such as "one back rub" or "one long
kiss" (you get the idea!).

My husband gets to take one message off the tree each night for the 12
nights before Christmas.  I find that this is a great way to stay
connected during the rush and stress of the season and reminds us to
take a few moments to enjoy each other.  You can get REAL creative
with the messages and have a lot of fun redeeming them!!

This year I've included a couple small wrapped items for under the
tree...  a small bottle of oil and a scented candle are a couple of
the things I've tucked under there.  When my husband takes a message
off the tree that says "pick a gift" he will have several to choose
from.
