Halloween isn’t even here yet and I’m already getting geared up for Christmas! I’ve been thinking about some things I want to do this Christmas season. One of the coolest things I've heard about and seen and would love to have my act together enough to do is to be a Secret Santa for someone. As Secret Santa, I would do the Twelve Days of Christmas–-well, this century’s version of it anyway. I doubt I could find a very economical version of "lords a’ leaping" or even of "pipers piping"...although I could probably manage some "maids a’ milking"...I digress.So, come December 14th, my chosen victim...er, recipient...would receive a small gift and a fun verse or poem or whatever. On December 15th, there would be another token, and so on until December 25th...Twelve Days of Christmas. But the coolest part is that they would never have a clue it was me! That’s where the "secret" part of "Secret Santa" comes in.
I am already having such a great time thinking about the gifts and the rhymes or verses and how I plan to sneak it to them so they will never suspect I’m the one.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if that’s how we planned our acts of righteousness? So that our giving was in secret? I’m just saying...
