Merry Christmas, to all who celebrate!
Right now you may be putting together new toys, relaxing with your own gifts, or getting ready for a meal.
Whatever it is, odds are you’re doing it with your family, at home.
But not everyone is.
For more folks than you realize, Christmas is another day at work.
Police officers, firefighters, EMTS and dispatchers; hospital doctors, nurses, orderlies and other personnel; restaurant chefs, servers, wait staff and dishwashers; drugstore clerks; gas station attendants; home healthcare aides;utility crews TV and radio and newspaper employees; movie theater workers — all are on the job, making life easier or better for you.
(So are priests and ministers, but that’s kind of a special category.)
All of these men and women are on the job.
If you are at work today — perhaps the day of the year when the fewest people in this country are working — thank you.
We may not see you, or think about you. We may not realize the sacrifices you make for us, on this quiet holiday.
But you are our Unsung Heroes!
Need something at CVS? They’re open!
And, to deployed military serving around the world today, Merry Christmas to you and your families.
