Make Christmas Special
It’s my brother’s first Christmas on his mission! Our family is all together this year (my sister and her husband, my little family), so we’ll feel his absence even more. We decided to try to make Christmas feel special for him, so my sister and I put together a larger package with 12 wrapped presents inside, and instructions for when to open each. I’ll definitely post all our ideas, but don’t be afraid to branch out. Your missionary will definitely feel the love.

Please do post what you use for the 12 gifts! I was planning on doing something like this but I am stuck for ideas.

Sure thing! The next posts will be about what I am sending. I hope they help. Where is he serving? If it’s in a colder country, I’ll post some other ideas for that, too. Good luck!

He actually is in a pretty cold area… the Billings, Montana mission. I’ve sent hot cocoa mixes, hand warmers, a scarf/gloves/hat, etc but I’m running pretty low on ideas. Anything would be really useful! The posts you put up recently have been really helpful so thank you!

I would also like to know some ideas and what you did. I want to do the twelve days of christmas for my missionary in Chicago. That would be really appreciated! Thank you!
