Remember our Troops

About this time in December, I start thinking about addressing Christmas cards. That's partly (OK mostly) because a friend hosts a Christmas Card Tea every year so friends can get together and visit while addressing cards.

This year, I plan to include a card to a soldier. There are a couple of ways to do this. You can participate through the American Red Cross by sending a card(s) to:


Holiday Mail for Heroes
PO Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

Note--there are a few guidelines at: http://www.redcross.org/email/saf/, including that the cards have to be postmarked no later than December 10!

You can also go to: http://www.americasupportsyou.com/AmericaSupportsYou/index.aspx for other organizations that are accepting cards or other donations.

In offering others blessing, you will be blessed this Advent.

See you tomorrow.
