WIYM: Countdown to Christmas #9

I love Christmas, actually, the whole holiday season! The thought of holiday music, baking cookies, Santa, presents, just makes me happy and brings me back to so many childhood memories!

I really enjoyed the Halloween Countdown offered by @Babsmomof5 and thought it would be fun to host a series of similar swaps for Christmas where we swap Christmas goodies! There will be 25 rounds, just like an Advent Calendar so that you have something to open each day and then a final gift for Christmas day. The first 24 will be the same, but for round 25 we will do a profile specific gift.

For this swap you will add a little Christmas themed surprise for your partner into an envelope, seal and send. Be sure to make the envelope look 'Christmasy'. This is NOT profile specific, and since each round will have a short sign up and send time, feel free to go ahead and get several rounds ready to go. Remember, round 25 will be different, so don't prepare it early. Please write on the OUTSIDE of the envelope the swap name in case your partner would like to keep them to open each day in December. If waiting to open, please do go ahead and rate your partner when you receive the swap. You can always go back and edit your rating after you've opened your envie, but you definitely should rate upon receipt. You can, of course add a note to your partner on the inside.

Ideas of goodies to include...

Christmas Washi tape samples

Christmas cards or postcards - unused

Christmas/winter stickers

Christmas images

Christmas themed ATC, APC, or similar item

Christmas themed stamps

Christmas/winter themed stamped images

Christmas themed article or short story

Christmas colored fibers, twine, or ribbon - like red, green, gold

Christmas/winter confetti - but please put into a small zip top or closed bag or envie, don't just leave loose as some partners may not love it falling out into their lap ;-)

Anything at all is fine, just be sure it is Christmas themed! Be creative and have fun!

If needed, I am able to angel after communication with your partner and a 1 is given. But please don't let that happen. Since this is an international swap, please do allow ample time, and communicate with your partner if you have any problem before rating down.

Recap Take 1 envelope, add a few Christmas themed surprises, write swap name on the outside, address and send.
