It’s the Thought The Counts

Yes, these are pretty practical and useful gifts, but more than the gift part, the thought behind this Sweet and Simple 12 Days of Christmas means more than that.

We’ve given this to widows, or most recently, a dear family whose mom has recently been diagnosed with cancer. My heart aches for them, as my own mother passed away from cancer when I was 15. We were the recipients of such thoughtfulness that first Christmas.

So spreading some cheer and letting people know there is someone thinking about them can mean a lot!

It’s not too late! Spread some festiveness and surprise someone or a family with the 12 days this year!
