Amy Baker and Melissa Anton grew up together in St. Louis, MO.  Through ballet, school, and sailing their families grew very close and celebrated most holidays together. After college, their paths took them to different places, but in 2021, they reunited in Charlotte, NC, where they and their respective families now live less than a mile from each other.  In 2024, a conversation over coffee about their childhood holidays together sparked an idea.  Before long, they were rolling up their sleeves to bring their beloved 12 Days of Christmas Props tradition to their community.
