Our family is on day 6 of a seriously annoying anonymous 12 days of Christmas attack. I did not tell them to stop because I liked the advice of the RfMer who said "Take the presents and ignore them. It will mess with their minds that the show of friendship didn't make you want to come back to church." Other than one small, rather fun, Christmas ornament on the first day, pretty much everything else has been cheap candy items from the dollar store, which I've just thrown away. One day they brought cupcakes though and it occurred to me - if I don't know who made these, how do I know they aren't gross, dirty or full of crap ala The Help? The guy down the street doesn't like us much since we had the police come and drag him off our property when he passed out drunk, walking home from a party at Thanksgiving. What if he's dropping stuff off out of revenge? I don't know.
Here's the creepy thing though. I've been trying to catch the person, w/o a video camera which I really need to set up. I realized they must be putting stuff on our doorknob in the evening, since it's already hanging there when I get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Last night, DD had a huge assignment due and our lights didn't go off until 12:30 p.m. I checked the door - no bag of cheap candy. I figured they gave up on us, being up so late, and would drop it off early in the morning. But when I got up at 3:20 a.m. I decided to look and sure enough - the bag was there. Someone was up in the middle of the night, watching our house to see if we are asleep. It's such a Mormon thing to do and we do have at least three families, capable of such a stunt, living close enough that driving something over wouldn't be a huge deal. But still - between 12:30 a.m. and 3:20 a.m.? Ick!!!!
