A Christmas Eve Shift

"On Christmas Eve in 1977, I learned that blessings can come disguised as misfortune, and honor is more than just a word.  I was riding one-man patrol on the 4-12 shift. The night was cold.  Everywhere I looked I saw reminders of the holiday: families packing their cars with presents, beautifully decorated trees in living room windows and roofs adorned with tiny sleighs. It all added to my holiday funk."

In a recent post, Jamie McAdams shared a reflection from another police sergeant on an experience lived during a Christmas Eve shift.
