I don’t know ... I hope they won’t get all hacked off if I wish them a Merry Christmas.

It is a sad day when Merry Christmas is considered a form of hate speech.

Maybe not. Aides to Sen Sessions offered to inspect the mail, so it may have been divereted to them, and eventually reach a wounded soldier.

These people probably have the facilities to handle the task. Good for them, they’re great.

A friend of mine gave the kids at her school the chance to make cards for me to send to a unit in Afghanistan - they did over 200, which I shipped out along with Christmas goodies on Dec. 2.

I dunno...I’ve been having trouble sending something to a young man in the same city where I live. I can’t seem to get the wording right.

He was married on Nov. 20 and I wanted to give them something, but I every time I try to convey my well wishes it goes awry.

Is there someone to contact there who can straighten out the problem? I was planning to mail a card to him and his new wife today, but don’t want it getting “lost” in the mail.

Folks -- you can help the volunteers by leaving your card flaps unsealed, so the message inside can be reviewed by the volunteers.

The object for them is to avoid having the leftie sickos sending "I hope you die" messages, as they have on past holidays.

I know. Sick.
