I saw this idea earlier this year and...Hey Angela,<br /><br />I saw this idea earlier this year and thought: "what a great (and cheap... important) way to get to know your neighbors or get closer to them". So I decided I'd make it this Christmas.<br /><br />I have a couple questions: what kind of things did you put in your basket. From your picture I can see a pouch of cookie mix, gift tags, a Santa ornament and a nutcracker, but I don't get to see the rest. Also, how many items did you put in it?<br /><br />My other question is: Do you think it's safe to ask the neighbors who would like to participate, or is it better to leave it as a surprise? If the latter, what would you do if a person doesn't want to participate?<br /><br />Thank you for this great idea, I wish you and your beautiful family a wonderful Christmas, full of joy and magic.<br /><br />Gabi @ ElDesordenDeGabi.blogspot.comGabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433305994617262383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362601878259885013.post-10304462002031637502008-12-13T22:29:00.000-07:002008-12-13T22:29:00.000-07:00I'm loving all your awesome ideas for Christmas. ...I'm loving all your awesome ideas for Christmas.

I wanted to put in enough cards from me for everyone, but I didn't have enough left after sending them out to family and old friends and didn't want to order more for the 3rd time! so I think that's why I just put in one card. So everyone followed suit. That's right. But I guess it worked out good so people didn't think THEY had to give cards to everyone too. Anyway, you can do it however you'd like. Let me know if someone does something even more creative or something different. I like everyone's ideas!!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436404846363033242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362601878259885013.post-58693646602997573632008-12-10T11:54:00.000-07:002008-12-10T11:54:00.000-07:00Jessica- You can do it however you want to, but I ...Jessica- You can do it however you want to, but I just left it up to them. My neighbors all put their cards in for all to see, and yes, at the end it came back to me with everyone's cards. It was a lot of fun!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436404846363033242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362601878259885013.post-21423155552609621532008-12-10T11:19:00.000-07:002008-12-10T11:19:00.000-07:00this is a great idea...so the basket returns to yo...this is a great idea...so the basket returns to your house with goodies in it as well?
