Contrary to what some retailers tell you, the 12 Days of Christmas
begin on December 25. Of course you can celebrate them whenever
you want. Here’s some ideas on making the 12 days more romantic.
This is a tip you might want to forward to family and friends.

THE 12 DAYS OF A ROMANTIC CHRISTMAS
On the first day of Christmas… Buy your mate one box of their
favorite cereal and lace it with lots of “prizes.” Throw in some golf
tees, Hershey kisses, toy cars or whatever would bring out the
child in them.

On the second day of Christmas… Take out your two engraved
toasting glasses from the china cabinet and use them. Reminisce
the day you first sipped from them. If you never had any engrave
your own by buying some stencils and etching paste at a craft store.

On the third day of Christmas… Have three meals together. You
could go all out with breakfast in bed, a picnic lunch and a candlelit
dinner. Better yet, spend less time preparing the meal and more
time sharing it together.

On the fourth day of Christmas… Put the pedal to the metal and
four on the floor. Take a peaceful drive for the day. Go to county,
see the Christmas lights in the city or whatever revs your engine.

On the fifth day of Christmas… Fax or deliver a photocopy of
your five fingers (plus the rest of your hand) to your love at work.
Tell them you can’t wait to be together to hold the real thing.

On the six day of Christmas… Give her a half dozen of her
favorite flower – one at a time. Leave one on the pillow, one on
her car seat, one at her office, etc.

On the seventh day of Christmas… Count your lucky stars by
gazing into the 7th heaven. If the night is overcast, arrange
glow-in-the-dark ones on the bedroom ceiling.

On the eighth day of Christmas… Buy an 8 pack of crayons
and together design and color a personalized coloring book of
happy memories you have shared.

On the ninth day of Christmas… Cats aren’t the only ones with
9 lives. Take out your scrapbooks, photo albums or home movies
and spend the day soaking up the sweet memories of your past
lives together (adolescent, teenager, dating, engaged, married,
parent) and then began planning for the future ones (empty nest,
grandparent, retirement) .

On the tenth day of Christmas… Massage your sweetheart’s
aching shoulders for ten minutes. Throw in a back scratch, a foot
massage and a hair brushing if you are feeling extra generous.

On the eleventh day of Christmas… Bake him eleven of his
favorite cookies (since most recipes make one dozen, these will
be bigger than usual – he won’t complain). Stick a wooden skewer
through the side of each cookie and then wrap the cookie in a
colored plastic wrap. Place them in a box or vase as you would
a dozen roses.

On the twelfth day of Christmas…
Present your sweetheart with a custom made twelve month
calendar for 1999. Use personal photographs or your own
drawings to make it unique. Highlight special days for the new year.
