Christmas Cards for the Military

        
  

           I saw a Red Cross website on face book that talked about sending Christmas Cards to our military and thought it would be a wonderful way to spread some Christmas cheer!  Many of our service men and women have no mail or packages delivered to them.  I cannot imagine standing in line for mail call and not getting anything!  How sad is that?

    So, with that in mind, I will be sending some cards.  Below is a link to the Red Cross website with instructions.  If you are like me, you have plenty of Christmas cards that you've bought over the years and didn't send out.  This is a way to use them and bring some holiday cheer to our service members! 

    Get the kids involved in this!

 It's so easy- here are a few of the instructions in a nutshell:

1-    sign all cards
2-   Address it to "Dear Service Member"
3-   only cards, no letters
4-   no email or home address
5-   no photos, etc.
6-   no cards with glitter
7-   no envelope required for each card

*Deadline is December 6th

The best part is that you can send all of the cards in one large envelope or flat rate postal shipping box!

Here's the address:

Holiday Mail for Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

I hope you will consider this a way to get into the holiday spirit... As a mom of two in the military, I Thank You!!!
