It's not like me, but, maybe I can get Jerry to foot the bill, (the postage cost more then the card,) but if anyone of you would like to send me ur address via email, I'll exchange or send you a Christmas Card.

Bought a bunch of them at the dollar store...at half discount. Lol

our house, and enclosed them with our cards this year, but one daughter, did not have her hair combed , the other just got up and didn't have her make up on, the other had to go to work, the other two and wife were ready.

Women, who can understand them, I planned the picture with at least two hours advanced notice!!

Cook, instead of sending cards to us - how about I send you some postage money and you get them out to our boys in Iraq - spread some holiday wishes to those who stand on the wall and let us enjoy our Christmas.

Already sending cards to the Marines overseas in harms way, that I know.

The military will not deliever any cards to servicemen that are not addressed to them personally.


Just kidding about the postage and buying them at Dollar tree, I will be more then glad to add Marine friends and those I have met here at leatherneck.com to my Christmas Card Mailing.

Family knows I am sending out Christmas Cards out to Marine friends this year. First time ever, even those I served with in Nam, guess it's all part of the healing process.

If you like, just pm me, here at leatherneck.com your address.

NC. Gal, my secretary and I send out 43 Christmas Cards to Marines yesterday, and I have four so far today, but yours was the only one I send that was an X-rated Christmas Card... LOL

So, my secretary and I went looking for Christmas cards to send to Marines in Iraq.


"Hoping the best for you in this Christmas Season, Joy to the World, May this Christmas bring you something special to remember..."


All those sentiments written on Christmas Cards just didn't seem right to send to them.

We finally found a box that reads;



"Like Treasured Ornanments thoughts of Special People in our lives brighten the season and warm our hearts,"

next year I'll design our own...

If anyone of you all have loved ones there that would like me to send them a card, pm me their address here and it'll be on its way, if you'll like I'll even enclose a pic of my secretary with it..

Humm, I wonder if I can get a pic of her without her knowing it, she's single, a pretty blue eyes lady, don't know why she's working for me though...... LOL

you didn't get my card, hummm,

I did all the things I always did when I wrote a letter.. of course hadn't done any letter writing since Nam, we didn't need stamps then so I wrote "FREE" on the top of the envelope like we were told to do in nam.

Can't understand why you didn't get it.....


Humm, maybe we should all email you an electronic Christmas Card... LOL


mines on it's way

Electronic Christmas Cards? What will they think of next? The guy down the street said there was no Santa and that the post office just destroys my letters to the big guy. Maybe I should e-mail him.

THERE's NO SANTA?

bite your tongue,,,,,, there has to be one..

For years someone had been leaving a small Christmas present for me on my front door on Christmas Eve and I always wondered who it was, figured it was Santa, until last July I found out that it was the lady from across the street.


Nice young woman, mid-forties, very friendly, married but very quite, doesn't come out of her house much, when she does speak to me (when her husbands not around) she talks as if we are old friends...

Maybe I'll send them a Christmas Card. Might even put a stamp on the envelope, to be nice.

Of course if I send it postage Due, it might be more memorable to them...

I've gotten the card a couple days back, outstanding. Thanks a bunch, 89. I got two X-mas cards, well, the other was accidentally put into my box so I had to give it back. You win some, you lose some. I spent Christmas in the hospital, had an ATV accident, not pretty. Talk about one of the loneliest days in my life. The only other person I saw other than my reflection was a nurse that brought me a candycane and some hot cider before she got off shift. That was nice. :yes:

I would have kept that card and forward my card to them. Let them figure it out.. LOL
