The holidays are a time for families to come together. For some families, that can be more difficult to achieve than for others. While many businesses and schools shut down for the holidays, some members of every community will have to report to work on Christmas no matter what. Typically that includes those in professions in which we see people behaving selflessly day in and day out, like police officers, firefighters, and EMTs.
One mother in Virginia found herself in this predicament. Stephanie Lynn’s husband is a police officer whose work schedule required him to report to work on Christmas morning. They resolved to push their holiday celebration back so that the family could all be together, but there was one problem: How do you explain Santa coming on another day to the kids?
That’s how Stephanie came up with the idea for a letter from Santa offering “alternate delivery dates.” She shared the simple idea to Facebook, where families around the country found it to be a perfect solution.
