12 Days til Christmas Stories

 I made these bags last year to countdown to Christmas. I was looking online to find something to put in them ... like a story. I really wanted to find something to help us focus on the true meaning of Christmas. The very next day a lady in my ward gave me a book filled with 12 stories to read each day up to Christmas. I think she was inspired, because it was just what I was looking for.  In the back of the book were some fun ideas, of different  things to hand out to go along with each story.
