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

Ok, I did it again this year...:) I went and talke to my sons Middle School to see if there were any teachers still looking for their Community Service Project for this school year. And there were 2 that hadn't come up with anything yet. The two of them provided EVERY student the cunstruction paper and whatever they needed to make a card for our group. I picked up and mailed yesterday 515 handmade cards. Looking at some of them, I got a little teary eyed.
I also talked to my daughters elementary school and the PTO purchased stocking for each of the kids (278), all of the students were asked to bring things to fill them with and then we put all of the items they brought together and they spent the last day before Thanksgiving stuffing stockings. The things that the kids brought was amazing. There were movies, candy hot chocolate, hand warmers, lotion, chap stick, candy canes ( I think every stocking got a candy cane),those that couldn't afford to bring something just drew a christmas picture. As soon as I get pictures downloaded, I will post them. -

APRIL ---no way ??? OMG that is great great great !!
I really love when schools get involved because it teaches the children the meaning of support :)
Do me a favor Please ----when we get a email back from the Xmas boys Please take some of them / copy them and give it to the teacher to read to her kiddo's.
As a matter of fact maybe Diane we could just ask if chappy will write just one letter to the kiddos, and we can use it for ALL schools that helped.
I sure would like the chilren to hear from a *real sailor* LOL LOL
Hugs and Hugs
Oh and April if you havent already can you put that in the Xmas count room please ?

Well, through TERRY's AT UNO.s we met a women that "sewed" for disney and we asked if she would make something for the new daddys to have ...Well take a peak...She really OUT DID herself...
