Uncle Sam is the Grinch that stole Christmas this year. All "special" days throughout the year without Kyle are a little extra difficult - a little harder than the day to day. Christmas has proven to be particular trying. And I can only imagine how it is for our service members overseas and away from their families.
Maybe Uncle Sam should call a time out on all combat operations during the holidays? And then everyone could be home...Maybe this is something the UN could look into?
Isn't that how the story goes? First the Grinch is mean and steals all things Christmasy and then in the end he swoops in and gives it all back?
I've been told the two most difficult times of deployment are the holidays and the last month before returning home. Here we are at both the holidays and the last month...here's hoping I won't be the Grinch for my family this Christmas. No promises though.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry and Grinch-free Christmas!
