ok, so easter egg letterboxes have gotten me thinking. i really want easter to come now.
but first comes so many other holidays- christmas, valentines....
so new idea. christmas letterboxes could you hide in your house...as stocking stuffers? boxes hidden with presents? wrapped even?
i just kinda wanted opinions on what you could do, and if you have done something like this please tell us.
ok message away

Last year AScrew and CCLB did the O letterboxing tree. Some of us here in the area made 'ornaments' along with AS and CCLB to hang on the tree. It was very cool to make and find ornaments that had stamps and logbooks in them. It was great fun and people really seemed to enjoy it.

I thought that was the greatest idea! I was wondering if I may steal it this year for a NC tree?

Ok, this isn't letterboxing but it's somewhat similar to what you're talking about.

One year my mom forgot to wrap and put out presents for my older brother (then 5) to wake up to on his birthday, which was what they had always done. So when my brother got up he was broken hearted. My mom thought fast and said "Be patient. There's something different going on this year." And with that we had the birth of the "Birthday Elephant" (cause elephants never forget) My dad distracted my brother and my mom quickly wrapped the presents and hid them around the house. She wrote simple clues to where the presents were. My brother was sooooo excited to hunt his presents! We did that every year thereafter.

Last year I mentioned it to my mom and she told me the whole story. Up until then I had no idea that it all came about by accident.
