"The Warmth of a Moms Love at Christmas Time"

[diane {Shawns mom}]

Our “Holiday Sailors” and More!
I have the HONOR of anouncing...........Our Holiday GROUP

During the Holiday Season this year we have received a “special warm request” from a group of Seabees-YES, I said Seabees, in Afghanistan! The request came from the Battalion Chaplain of NMCB 74. The Chaplain says that they have Seabees in several locations around Afghanistan. He is hoping to do two things this Christmas-geez..Only 2, we can do MORE!

1) Have a smore roast by a campfire-singing Christmas carols and sharing Christmas stories of HOME.

2) He would like to have stockings to hand to his troops.
Moms, we want to send all the “warmth” and “Love” of Christmas to all 250 SEABEES

Now moms, are your hearts melting YET? Well, let’s get busy!
However, before you dash out the door, hear this!
We have had “some” VERY busy elf’s here!
Knit for the Navy Group has been busy knitting away at scarves
Heads at Ease has been busy sewing away at stockings.
A HUGE Thank You to "Lyn Love" who coordinated all our “crafty” Navy Moms!

We are looking for the "Warmth and L♥ve" that comes from “HOME” at Christmas time!
So think WARM, IT BRRRRRRRRRRR freezing in Afghanistan.
So think Stockings, we have to stuff all those stockings!
Think WARM, lets keep our Sailors warm and toasty!

I would also like to give a shout out to “UNO’s Grille” in Kissimmee Florida-UNO’s is accepting donations for Molly’s Adopt a Sailor and in return they are giving out a coupon for a FREE appetizer! Boy, where does it end! We have such an outpouring of support from all over! It’s NOT over yet!
Let’s hear it for our Central Illinois’ Moms who on their own is taking on another special group of 60 in Iraq this holiday season! The love never ENDS!!!!!

As Always, Please use our Molly’s Adopt a Sailor Labels on all items! Mailing Dates on November 27-December 5th, so let's start the HOLIDAY PARTY

I have one last think I would like to add!
I am a mom of a sailor aboard USS Rodney M. Davis, which was adopted last holiday season by Molly’s Adopt a Sailor. I could NEVER begin to explain how I felt knowing that my son’s ship was receiving all the love that Molly’s Moms have and MORE. The day the BAGS of mail arrived aboard the Davis my son just so happen to be there with our “contact” CMC Smith! Well let’s just say, Cannot repeat what came out of the CMC’s mouth! Shock and Awe, should explain it! My son called me a few hours later letting me know the mail was dropped and dropped big. My son received over 15 cards that Christmas and he read them repeatedly! He said “Mom it gets pretty lonely on this small” ship; So, I am “Paying it forward” Molly’s Moms Style!


PS-thanks Molly, it was about time you let me do this! L♥VE YOU SISTA!!!!
Please USE these LABELS so that CHAPPY knows they are from US...♥

Diane I think we are good in the xmas story room ---Susan can just pull from there :)

[diane {Shawns mom}]

I am s-l-o-w...did see the xmas story rm....

[Molly Molly Fo Folly]

Lyn do you have the up close picture of the seabee to show everyone the look of him ? (Im home and the pic is at work )
Someone needs to go and get the seabee moms and let them know whats happening this month. I tried and found that there was only 1 group and they were not talking anymore :(
Dont know if it is a hidden room or not ---if you know a seabee mom please ask her. I hate for them to miss out on this ----
YEAH this is such fun ideas

[usmcmom]

Hi Molly! I just posted a msg in the Seabee Moms group (looks like an active group) and told them about this project! Hopefully they will see it and join in on the fun!

Oh, no, they can't stuff their own stockings. Now each one could stuff one for another person. That would be fine.

My husband has some of the hand warmers I can send. Let me know if you want me to send them and where. I can also send some marshmellows and graham crackers and chocolaye bars for the smores.

[carolyn s]

All this talk of chocolate and marshmallows and graham crackers is making me hungry!!

[Molly Molly Fo Folly]

[momof2sailors]
