Great song! Good work everyone!
So, here as I promised, it is ....the Rest of the Story...a true story of the 12 Days of Christmas at Camp-Inn...
Those of you who have had the opportunity to visit the shop will have seen the large neon Camp-Inn sign in the show room. I had that made for Craig a few years back as a Christmas present. It was hard to keep it a secret for the few months it took to have it made.
I knew that once I got it home, I would have to give it to him right away & not wait for Christmas Day, as it was too big & too delicate to hide anywhere. Oh, and keeping it secret was getting to be too much for me...
I also knew I needed a creative way to give it to him...so I came up with a scavenger hunt around our house entitled "The 12 Days of Christmas at Camp-Inn" (would have done it at the shop, but it was too far away & would have made him suspicious, me running around hiding clues). The clues were all related to things about/at Camp-Inn but that could also be found in our house. They all started with "On the __ day of Christmas at Camp-Inn, my true love gave to me..."
Instead of starting with the 1st day, I started with the 12th & counted down to the 1st. The final clue was more of a hint at what he was getting, not necessarily where to find it. "On the 1st day at Camp-Inn, my true love gave to me, a Camp-Inn for all the world to see." I had hung the lighted sign in our bedroom & turned off all the lights, so it would be obvious when he opened the door.
Of course, Craig being the humorous guy that he is, had fun with this little game & giving me a hard time with every clue. When it got to the final clue, he got all excited & said "Wow! You had a Camp-Inn built just for me? Just what I've always wanted! How did that one slip past me unnoticed?"
Needless to say, he loved the sign & was very surprised (not much gets by him, so this was a real accomplishment....)
So, there you have it...my addition to the "12 Days" saga.
