So happy you had so much fun filling your soldier box...it's kind of addictive, isn't it? I got to shop for 6 boxes last night, using money donated to me for the cause. WOW, was that ever fun. I hope your soldier writes you back! <br /><br />And glad you stopped to talk to that other soldier also. When people approach Brian like that, he loves it, and it's always memorable.<br /><br />Bless you!Lori Stewart Weiderthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601450336245218356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-76211963297129818232009-12-17T01:15:19.401-06:002009-12-17T01:15:19.401-06:00Lo,

Goofy is good.<br /><br />And gift cards? Some people might say they're impersonal, but I love getting them. Because people might put a whole lot of thought into a present and still be so way of the mark you have to wonder what they were thinking. Get me a gift card at a place I like and I'll love you forever.Jazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644896022880634803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-33132117755607558442009-12-15T07:18:23.816-06:002009-12-15T07:18:23.816-06:00Violetsky - Have you learned nothing from this pos...Violetsky - Have you learned nothing from this post? Go have a few drinks before tackling all those cards.

I would think he would just love it---it is something from "HOME" and sent by someone who is saying "Thank You"....!<br /><br />I think all through the many wars I have lived through, women were always thanking soldiers...I have vivid memories of seeing that even during WW2 when I was fairly young. The Korean War, too. Viet Name, well...maybe not so much, because of the negative feelings about the war. And that was sad because the soldiers weren't responsible for that---they were just doing their job....<br /><br />I haven't done one thing about Christmas--no cards, no calebdars, no presents...nada! And I'm afraid that is going to be it this year.<br />You must feel really great that you have everything all under control for Christmas...Bravo, to you!OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.com
