Good Morning.
We won't have much on this Christmas Eve. I'm just back from an overnight shift and about to crash for a while. Still got more baking to do before tonight's festivities!
Our Veterans have often spent the holidays far from home and loved ones. I quoted just one story below, but my usual source has a bevy of them today.
And don't forget to track Santa all day with NORAD!

Dinner Table, 1997
"[I came] home after 13 months in Korea in 1997 [and was] still in uniform. My grandparents had the tree and decorations up in January. I sat at the kids table. I, of course, was used to it, and my WWll vet grandpa said, 'You're sitting next to me now. You more than earned the right. Get over here.' I had happy tears the rest of the day."
-- Scott, Army

Good morning bloggers from the southern shores of Lake Michigan.

I hope that everyone is well.
It is hard being away from family for the holidays. While I created a surrogate family for myself with friends in LA, it is not always easy to do so. It may be particularly hard in the armed services far from home.
This year, I am going to spend some of today running around with my sister. Tomorrow is our combined Christmas/Hanukah celebration. (My brother and his wife are stuck at home. He recently injured his left leg and gets an MRI on Thursday.)
