    I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but I saved the following when another BBS'r posted it (Thanks OP!)

    Christmas neighbor

    Lately, I had been noticing that lots of people in our subdivision had those big ol' plastic candy canes hung over their mailboxes. And I wondered why, because they don't even fit over them well, and they're not stunningly attractive. I thought decorations had just gone way downhill this year... But then, when we got home from church last night, I found out why! There was a bag of Christmas candy (the good stuff~Hershey's kisses and Reese's cups) on our top step and this note :

    I heard a little Christmas
    In the laughter of a child
    I saw a little Christmas
    In a snowman's jolly smile
    I felt a little Christmas
    When I gave a gift away...
    Just little things...
    And yet they filled my heart
    With joy today.

    You have just been "HIT" by
    The Christmas Spirit!!!

    "For unto us a child is born, to us a Son is given and the government will be on his shoulders, and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

    Help spread the Christmas Spirit by "hitting" two more of your neighbors! Here's what you need to do to keep the spirit moving.

    1. Put together two bags of candy, etc. or whatever you would like to leave at two neighbors' doorsteps.
    2. Purchase two plastic candy canes (like the one you see on your mailbox) and tie onto the neighbor's mailboxes that you have hit. Please don't "rehit" a house!
    3. Approximately $10.00 will cover two homes.

    Have fun! This is a fun and unique way to spread the joy in our neighborhood. The key to this is it's a secret! So, do what you can not to be caught in the act! That makes it all the more fun. If you are the last family to receive a hit this season, we hope you will start up the tradition next season!

    Hope the holidays bring you
    All the smiles your heart can hold.
    Merry Christmas and
    Happy New Year!!

    From your secret Ridgewood neighbor.

    So, I wanted to post this here so that you may start spreading some holiday cheer where you live! I have no idea who started this here, but I think it's so fun and it will bring our neighborhood closer together... So, perhaps some of you will take this

    I wish I could remember the OP! I went out last week and bought all of my big candy canes from the dollar store last week and am going to get my candy this week while its on sale.

    My girls are SO excited and can't harldy wait until its closer to Christmas so that we can do this. I live in a cul-de-sac and although we've lived here for almost 3 years, I don't know all of my neighbors. I think this will be a great way to meet everyone

    Time for my sister to complain about the cold weather, despite the fact that she's lived here all her life, and knows IT'S WINTER, and it's going to get cold????
