Day 359: Delivered Cookies On Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all are having an incredible day! I know I have. I have spent the day with my family, played a few games and enjoyed a delicious dinner (that I could actually taste, despite my cold.) However, not everyone was  as lucky as some of us and were not able to spend the day with their families. Each year some companies make the unfortunate decision to stay open on Christmas. This means some employees have to work.

I wanted to do something special for those stuck at work, so my mom and I made 4 dozen homemade cookies. This afternoon my dad and I delivered the cookies to a Circle K and Rite Aid that were nearby. The employees behind the counter at both stores were quite frazzled and had a moment of disbelief. I was asked, "are these for me" and "you made these for us?" After the confusion subsided, the gratitude poured in. Each employee said thank you and Merry Christmas, but I also heard "How nice of you" and "I love cookies!" I am happy to put a smile on their face on Christmas and it's easy to say mission complete.

Again, Merry Christmas and God bless!

Sincerely,

Kailee
