Glen's Christmas Present

What do you get a man for Christmas?  He's hard enough to shop for as it is.  So what do you get a man who's overseas and will just have to pack something back home with him?  He doesn't really need anything ... or does he?  If we could send us, we would cuz we sure need him for Christmas.  But since that's not possible, I discussed it w/ the kids.  They don't have decorations out there.  He doesn't get to see the pretty Christmas lights at night like we do.  He doesn't get to have the constant reminder of a Christmas tree like we do.  So what could we do?  ...  Tah dah!  We sent him a Homemade Christmas Survival Kit.  It included homemade decorations, a small lighted Christmas tree, and a homemade movie of all our fun and hard work.=)  He finally got his package this morning (his night) so I wanted to share the movie we made for him.  It was so much fun to make and we've watched it often as it reminds us of how much fun we had sharing ourselves w/ him for Christmas.  It brings a smile to my kids faces everytime.  Only 7 weeks left to go?  We're finally starting to count down ... but not too much as that seems to slow the time down.  Merry Christmas everyone!!!  Click on the ? to watch.

If you don't see the ?, go to www.youtube.com and search the keywords: soldier, Afghanistan, Christmas, present.  It should be there.
