Play Day #28 – Create Something for Someone Special
(See challenge play prompt HERE)
Today we spent a few minutes decorating Christmas cards for US military service members.
Did you know that many of our veterans are spending their holidays in a military hospital instead of at home with their families?
So simple! Just sign a few cards, put them all in one envelope, put this address on it, shown HERE, then mail it out with the rest of your holiday cards.

I just told The Chief to draw some “Merry Christmas” pictures for the soldiers.
Visit the American Red Cross website HERE for all the info, the address, holiday mail collection sites, and even a way to send cards via email!
Here’s a great video by the Red Cross for the Holiday Mail for Heroes program!
