Christmas Eve will take us to a local police station to take by treats and a big thank you/Merry Christmas poster.
We came upon this as we thought about all the professions in which you have to work on Christmas. Also, of course, Police put their lives on the line each and everyday to protect and serve.
(Note- If you ever want to do something like this it’s best to call ahead to arrange this as some stations do not let you provide goodies. )
UPDATE
This is the last update on our “Operation 12 Days of Christmas” :(. I’m sure you can tell what a wonderful time we have had.
Last night we took the package to my friend’s house late at night. The plan ended up to be a very sloppy note with a name that is not legible. Hopefully this will have them guessing for awhile.
Our oldest already asked about doing this next year :). I can’t wait!!!!!
Hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas.

WOWSERS. I just finished reading all about your Operation 12 Days of Christmas. I love it and I just might try and to this next year. We usually just pick a family and give them something every day for 12 days, but this seems to have way more heart in it and gets more done. I’m so glad you documented the whole thing.
