My kids will be off track Nov 18th - Jan.
(yes, I'll be crazy by then) I still wanted to give their teachers
Christmas gifts. I wanted to do something different.

Here's the idea I came up with ;
Its based on the 12 days of Christmas song ~

I get a big box, wrap all pretty.
We write on the box
The 7 days before Christmas .........

(Inside is 7 different gifts, each labeled.)



my student gave to me ...............

For example ;

7 chocolate kisses

6 sugar cookies

5 nail polishes

4 cups of coco ( have a mug w/ coco packlets)

3 frapps ( I say this because my DD's teacher loves them )

2 Candles


and 1 ... whatever gift

So what do you think ?


Something different and the teachers will have fun unwrapping
something each day. My DD loves the idea. I can't tell ds ,
because he will tell his teacher !!

Very cute!! I love stuff like that!

Very very cute! I love the idea! Is it patented? Or can I borrow/steal it?

You may steal it.
When its the "THING" to do ... rember who started it !

Great idea!

I saw this at a Christmas store in the mall.
They had this poem stapled to a baggie of skittles.

Colors of a teacher ~

"Red is for kindness and caring to the core,
for giving your all, then giving some more.
Orange is the flame of wisdom, a burning and
lifelong love of knowledge and learning.
Yellow's for excellence, a bright golden star
for the A+, top-grade instructor you are!
Green is for nurturing students to sow the
seeds of the future and help them to grow.
Blue's for encouraging all whom you teach to
dream, to stretch, to soar, to reach.
Purple's for the lessons of life you impart as
you help to inspire each mind and heart.

Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher!"

I thought I could use that in my 7 Days before Christmas idea, for Day 6.
