We, in the Hobbit Hole did stockings for a platoon in Baghdad last Christmas. I found inexpensive felt stockings at a discout store, and using gold glitter paint, painted the name of each soldier on a stocking. They were absolutely thrilled to get them! The advantage to the glitter paint is that it would go quicker than cross stitch. I did 25 stockings in less than an hour. Then various folks sent gifts to the woman handling it, she stuffed all the stockings and mailed them to her son in law who was the Captain of the platoon.
This year, we've hooked back up with a logistics group going to Afghanistan, so we'll be doing something similar for them this Christmas, I imagine.
I am in. Let me know any details. I have a 13yo daughter that just loves crafting. And to mention glue and glitter and such... oh boy.

Daughter has 10 stockings, and glitter glue. She is ready for some names.
