"The Warmth of a Moms Love at Christmas Time"
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...♥

Can't wait to finish up, one box is loaded: got a couple small little trees with some ornaments for them to decorate, some small candy canes, and several small little items for them to use. I am also enclosing a few personal things for Chappy (his own personal little tree, with little baby blue baby ornaments for him to feel he is 'home' sharing with the family). I am still having my Sunday School class in helping write on cards to send, so that will go on for the next few Sundays. As I have been gone for an extended time in helping an ill loved one, it is nice to be back, and helping once again. You all have done some really AWESOME things! You guys always amaze me!

one thing i did last Thanksgiving is bring Christmas Cards for everyone in attendance to sign for our Sailors, which was a big hit and they are asking if I am bringing them again this year. Just like that....a new tradition! This year I should have Seabee son and several others tagging along home for Thanksgiving, every couch and blow up mattress will be in use....I love it. And yes, I have been away for a while but it has not stopped me from sending each month to the groups. Just checking in to say hello, you guys are doing a great job.
