So, you know you want a Christmas card from me. XD (Holiday card for you non-Christmas people.) And I will say I blatantly (and unashamedly) stole this from Betty. But it’s such a DAMN good idea, how could I not? When the place is literally in my backyard? And several of my dear friends are in the military and it could BE them there.
Okay, so – here it goes.
Send me your snail mail addy (if you trust me. (; ) and I will send you a Christmas card. Instead of sending *ME* one in return, you send one to a wounded soldier (sailor, marine, airman, you get the idea). Or – you can be all: “Since she’s an OBVIOUS stalker, I’m just going to send one to a wounded military person.” That’d be great too. (;
Email me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with your snail mail to get a genuine Capital Christmas Card! (ooo. C Cubed! You know you want a C Cubed!!!)
Here’s where you send the Christmas Cards (or even just normal mail!) to wounded military personnel.
Walter Reed Army Medical Center
c/o Red Cross
6900 Georgia Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001
Now. Accoding to Betty, you can address it to “Any Soldier” (Or, I imagine, Any Sailor, Any Marine, Any Airman, etc) if you like, but by putting the ‘c/o Red Cross’ – they’ll know it’s for the wounded people.
Let’s all send some cheer this year, eh? I need to see what else I can do.
(Edit – I can’t spell. Someone get me a spellcheck! STAT!! Words like soldier are doing me in! AHH!)
EXCELLENT!!
Last year I made all the guys at Nico’s Det. sign a stack of cards… and I thought they would be annoyed with having to sign so many, but they were all very cool about it. I’m going to force them to do the same thing again this year… and now that Nico is TAD, we have TWO commands to sign!! Whee!!
Next year, when we’re in the States, I want to buy a stack of nice cards and send them from blogger to blogger to sign. Wouldn’t that be cool? It’d be neat to see the cards travel all across the US.
Anyhooooooooooooo… we’re not doing Cmas until January so if you have any cards left over, you can send us one in San Diego!
All of my Cmas decorations were packed up this week… no cmas tree… no lights… no stockings. Nothing. BUT, it’s ok, cuz we’re going to be there in time to hit all the after-Cmas sales! W00T!!
Wow. Sorry to write a book! I’m so hungry. Must find dinner. Ta ta!
Good idea.
Spillchekcers are overrated…and that word according isn’t giving you any leeway either.
Anyhoo – this is an awesome idea – count me in!!
