The Christmas season is coming. The Christmas season is coming!

I am uber-excited for the holiday season [in general] this year.

Looking through magazines, reading crafting blogs, and participating in a Handmade Holidays Gift Guide has done a lot to get me excited for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and every day in between.

I haven't sent a package to a soldier through Any Soldier .com in a while and it got me thinking....

I'd love to send a few Christmas cards full of Christmas cheer to some soldiers.

How about you?  

But if we want to do it, we'd better get hoppin' because it takes time for those cards to travel through the mail.

Soooooooooooo, I thought I'd start my first ever linky party.  First of all, you have to get a soldier's address.  Check out Any Soldier .com.  There, you can pick a soldier numerous different ways.  I always send cards to Marines.  :)  It's important to note that you can only receive two addresses per day and a limit of 10 per month.  I've already gotten two addresses and will send my cards by Friday.

If you'd like to join, get [at least] two addresses for two different soldiers, make a card, buy a card, seal it up, send it, write a little blog post to encourage others to spread Christmas cheer to soldiers, then join in the fun here!

The linky party will be open until Saturday, November 19th.

Also, if you don't have a blog but would like to participate, leave a comment in the comment section that you joined in on the fun.  :)

Just watched this Christmas movie with my brother & it had me wondering if there was some way I could send cards to soldiers. Thanks for the info. http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Card-Edward-Asner/dp/B000TGUUFA
