Merry Christmas!
The warmth of home and hearth to you
The cheer and good will of friends to you
The hope of a childlike heart to you
The joy of a thousand angels to you
The love of the Son and God's peace to you.
And from a friend,
A Merry Christmas on ye, and a very good year,
Long life and health to the whole family,
Life and merriment living together,
Peace and cheerfulness 'twixt women and men,
Goods and wealth, stock and store,
Plenty of potatoes and herring enough,
Bread and cheese, butter and beef,
Death like a mouse in the corner of the barn;
Sleeping safe when you'll be in bed,
And the tooth of the flea, may it not be good.

What you can do - right now - for our troops
I am frequently asked the question, "What can we as individual Americans do for our troops, particularly those serving overseas?"
I have two answers and a recommendation. The two answers are to pray for them and to say, "Thank you," when you encounter serving military personnel and veterans.
The recommendation is to "send a few dollars to Operation Call Home."
Operation Call Home is the brainchild of Ladd Pattillo, an Austin, Texas, businessmen, U.S. Army Reserve colonel and personal friend.
"Operation Call Home," by Austin Bay, TCS Daily, December 21, 2006
You can buy calling cards for our troops through a Department of Defense Military Exchange program: Military Exchange Prepaid Calling Cards. Cards are distributed through the American Red Cross, Air Force Aid Society, Fisher House, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, USO, and the Soldier & Family Assistance Center.
