Jingle Your Neighbor
One evening in December you may hear someone knock at your door or ring your doorbell. If you open the door and find there is no one there you may want to investigate further. Look carefully and you may discover a package of holiday goodies and a message indicating, "You've been Jingled!" or "You've Been Elfed"

If you've been Jingled, it means you have a secret friend in your neighborhood. Enjoy your holiday treats and the fun of trying to solve the mystery of who Jingled you. This game is similar to the old tradition of leaving someone May Day flowers or the Secret Santa game, but with a twist. As the recipient of a "Jingle" or "Elf" you have also been invited to participate in the game by Jingling other neighbors who have not yet been Jingled.

If you've never been Jingled, why not start the tradition in your neighborhood? Starting a chain reaction of the "You've Been Jingled" or "You've Been Elfed" game is fun and easy. It helps to strengthen neighborhood ties and makes a great family project for adults and kids to work on together. Your "Jingle" can be as simple or as complicated as you like.
