Family Night Phantom

Jared and I started a tradition when we were first married, and this is the 5th year we are following through on it. Today I am grateful for the Family Night Phantom.

On the first Monday night in October, we drop 4-6 plates of goodies off to families in our ward. Attached to the plates are the following message:

The Family Night Phantom strikes again

On Family Night, the night for fun.

From us to you we leave this treat

To make your Family Night complete.

Next week's Family Night, it falls on you,

The Family Night Phantom's job to do.

Just pick two families (not on your street)

And leave a treat that's nice to eat.

Deliver the treat with special care;

Run back to your car and into thin air.

With the treat, leave leave this note at the door

So the Family Night Phantom can strike twice more!

We usually do a bunch of plates so that things get shaking and moving, so that by the end of October, when people get tired of it (or get hit weekly) and it dies off, most families with kids have had a chance to participate. So, tonight I am grateful for the opportunity to participate once more!
