Doing my Christmas cards. When doing your Christmas cards this year, take a moment and send a card to this address: A Recovering American Soldier c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center 6900 Georgia Avenue, NW Washington , D.C. 20307-5001. Think of how many cards these wonderful people who have sacrificed so much would get. Got this from the ROC (Renee OConnor) forum. Sounds like a very good thing to me, so I thought I'd share.

Sorry Q. That isn't true:
We will begin accepting cards on November 2nd. Send in your cards to the address below, and please read the guidelines carefully!
Holiday Mail For Heroes P.O. Box 5456 Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
All cards must be received no later than Monday, December 7th. Cards received after this date will unfortunately be returned to the sender. This deadline ensures enough time to sort and distribute cards before the holidays.
I also came across these:

Yeppers. It works the same way. I'm not sure how close to Christmas it starts. It usually starts when someone starts it.

I'm still feasting on your holiday goodies in the Santa thread...but in honor of the Year Round Holiday theme I changed to an appropriate Avatar.

Happy Independence Day to all my American friends. May you fly your flag, and celebrate with those you love best. And if you have the opportunity, please thank a military veteran. My thanks to those Whooshites who have served our country. You are appreciated. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair saluted American independence with an essay that was part of the "CBS Sunday Morning" broadcast yesterday. It was so lovely, I wanted to post his words here. But to protect the CBS copyright, I will post the link instead. Well said, Mr. Blair. www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/07/03/sunday/commentaries/main20076511.shtml

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Independence Day.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends across the water. Although it's not a public holiday over here, Vox and I would like to wish you all health and happiness both now and in the future.

Thanks Moonglum! Tell ya what. I'll track down some nice juicy turkey leg and gobble it up in your honor. Now...to find that turkey leg....there's got to be one around here someplace.

MG: Do you not have a Thanksgiving Day or something similar over there? Canada has their Thanksgiving in October, I believe.

<waves frantically at Moonglum and Vox>
Moonglum! It's nice to see you - and what a nice reason for you to pop in. Hugs to you and Vox.
How many times have I told you, Stepper, to keep your mitts off my Gams! But Ha! It's the day after Thanksgiving, and no bite marks. Whew! Survived another year.
You know, don't you, the thing's been hanging around here so many Thanksgivings, that it's probably petrified by now. Yep, (said as a form of self-preservation), definitely not something to gnaw on, unless you're looking forward to a session with the Dental Dominatrix.

In Britain, thanks have been given for successful harvests since pagan times. Harvest festival is traditionally held on the Sunday near or of the Harvest Moon. This is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox (about Sept. 23). In two years out of three, the Harvest Moon comes in September, but in some years it occurs in October. The celebrations on this day usually include singing hymns, praying, and decorating churches with baskets of fruit and food in the festival known as Harvest Festival, Harvest Home or Harvest Thanksgiving. In British, and English Caribbean churches, chapels and schools, and some Canadian churches, people bring in produce from the garden, the allotment or farm. The food is often distributed among the poor and senior citizens of the local community, or used to raise funds for the church, or charity. As you can see Jox, this is probably about the closest we get to your Thanksgiving Day, but it is not a public holiday. Sad really, it would have been nice to get another day off work. My mouth is watering at the thought Step. Thanks Phalon and you are very welcome.
