MISSION: Operation Christmas Elves

Even though Christmas is nearly a month past, it’s never too late to share the goodness that transpires as a result of the season. My long-time Affiliated Agent B and her associates in the Pacific Northwest have sure gone above and beyond, as usual. I love this mission and the sense of community and care it creates. {And I realize the Affiliated Agents are anonymous in this post. I love their beautiful faces!}

I haven’t done any missions for quite sometime other than the usual “trying to be a good person” but once again my girlfriends and I rallied for a special mission for the holidays.

For the second year in a row, we decided to forego buying each other gifts and instead make “Secret Agent Bags” to hand out to random people in need.

We each purchased a stockpile of a few items and met at one person’s house to put our bags together. Among the items we had: socks, gloves, nutrition shakes, energy bars, lotion, hand warmers, cracker/cheese packs, chapstick, wet wipes, Subway gift cards….and of course a candy cane!

 

We assembled a total of 51 bags and divided them up so that each of us had a stock in our cars to hand out — (I handed my last one out this past weekend).

The look on the eyes of a woman or man who receives a bag of goodies is priceless — and we got the better end of the deal knowing we had a night to spend together in the spirit of Christmas!
