Every Christmas me and my family usually pick an unfortunate family that is struggling or just aren't doing good and do this thing called the "Twelve Days Of Christmas." This means every day for twelve days we get a gift and give it to them. Here is the thing though we do it anonymously so we knock on the door or ring the doorbell drop the gift and run away before they can see us. We usually give gifts that they need such as clothes, shoes, food, toys, just common needs. This is such a fun tradition and it really makes you feel good.
We have done MANY family's over the years and I have loved doing them all but I really liked this one family the most. They were this really cute family with 3 kids. They were are neighbors and are really good friends.We decided to do them that year. Me and my family got SO into it. We even had walkie-talkies! It was so fun but SO hard, cause they really got into it to, to see who was doing this to them and it was just the 5th day before Christmas! It was my turn to drop the gift off at there house. I had the walkie-talkie in my had. My sister say "Ready.... Set... GO!" I sprinted as fast as I could go! When I got to there house I see one of the kids right by the door. I was so scared and I was literally shaking. I whispered into the walkie-talkie that they were right at the door. My sister whispers and I quote " Go ninja mode." I chuckled a little but then said copy that. I went into full ninja mode and......
First did a really cool ninja move (a summer salt) by the way I was 7 at the time. I was very little to. So I rang the door bell with the clothes in my hand wrapped in really cute wrapping paper. I dropped the gift and hide behind the little pool that they had right by there house. I was sacred they would see me I stood perfectly still and saw the best thing ever. The little kid opened the door and started crying tears of joy. He hadn't gotten a new pair of clothes in forever. This warmed my heart. He slowly took the gift and went inside. At that point I ran back home and told my family how happy this little boy was. This family never found out who we were even though we got pretty into it. I love this tradition that me and my family do. I look forward to it every year and can't wait to do it this year. That is my family tradition.
