My gorgeous military friend is back next week and it got me thinking that they do so much hard work to protect the rest of us.
I know it's not all dangerous but they will be the first in line when it gets that way. Same goes for the Police & other emergency service people in hospitals etc.
And seeing as there are tons of military personnel and NHS staff on here I thought it might be nice to thank them and hope they have a good Christmas even though they are likely to be working  |

Most of the military finish on the 18th and arent back until January! Let's hope ISIS dont decide to invade over Christmas!
All joking aside, as you say, a lot of people who have to work over Christmas are doing it to help others in one way or another.
I personally have two great big tubs of chocolates in the back of the car to drop off to my local police station with a little card to thank them for working over Christmas when the majority of people will be eating and drinking and being merry with loved ones. |

I work closely with the police in my role I have meetings with them daily and I provided Krispy cremes to the police station I work closely with the most and the inspector said no one has done this before and I just said well it's Christmas and it's a time for giving......I did fancy saying at the end but not anal though but I refrained  |

Pulls up sandbag...
Sets lightbulb swinging...
This one time, in Kandahar, on Christmas Day, with as many people as possible stood down to enjoy the day, we held a sweepstake as to what time the TB would launch their rocket attack in a vain attempt to spoil the day. They never did, thus spoiling the sweepstake. Bastards. |

I'm a military brat from a big military & emergency services family. 9 yrs ago my brother was in Iraq. He came home. A family friend didn't (neither did any of his body parts). My eldest looking at signing up in 2 or 4 years. I am grateful every day for the work of our military & emergency services & hope they get to spend Christmas with their families x |

I'm the same, not from a military or any other public service family.
But appreciate those that do these jobs |
