How We’ve Used This You’ve Been Tinseled Idea
In years past, our kids each picked a few homes to tinsel, and we added a few too.
We piled 10 boxes in the car and drove around delivering them. My husband would pull up to a house, one of the kids would jump out with a box, run it to the doorstep, ring the doorbell, and hurry back to the car, where we’d abruptly drive off into the night before anyone saw us.
We delivered gifts to 10 homes that night, and it was so much fun! Of course, thinking back, teenagers running through the dark probably wasn’t our brightest idea.
These days, I’d recommend making your deliveries during daylight hours or dropping off your gifts without all the sneaking around. Your neighbors and friends might see you, but then again, they might not. It’s fun either way!
