Adrien's Twelve Days of Christmas

Since I was leaving on Christmas Eve for nine days to go back home to the US for Christmas and Adrien was staying at home alone, I decided to surprise him with the twelve days of Christmas gifts begining on Christmas Day and lasting till just after I got back. I labeled them all and marked them with their open dates, and just for fun, I attached a Christmas joke or funny story to each one. Here's whatI did:


1 Partidge in a Pear Tree: A bar of pear flavored dark chocolate

2 Turtle Doves: Homemade Chocolate Turtle disaster
3 French Hens: Based on a Martha Stewart felted craft, see the beret on the far one?


4 Calling Birds: It's a pun on calling, and there's only one


5 Golden Rings: a bag of Peach flavored gummy rings
6 Geese a Laying: a 6 pack of Chocolate Kinder Eggs
7 Swan's a Swimming: Well thery're really cranes on printed oragami paper from the internet


8 Maids a Milking: 8 cartons of chocolate milk to go with straws
9 Ladies Dancing: A homemade Mp3 Dance Mix
10 Lords a Leaping: A Little Mr book where he's leaping on the cover (a stretch)


11 Pippers Piping: This wooden flute from the Christmas market
12 Drummers Drumming: This cute hand carved frog, also from the Christmas market. Run the wand in his mouth down the ridges of his back for a frog like noise. Hey, it's percussion.
