I know everyone's been wondering how their Soldier spent the Christmas holiday away from home and the ones they love most. It's difficult being so far away, and know that you were thought of and talked about. We spent the day together as a team here, making chili, playing spades and video games, and talking about our traditions back home. For some, it was opening presents on Christmas Eve, others, eating tamales and chili. I know for my family, we wake up before the sun on Christmas morning, open presents, have a HUGE breakfast and wrapping paper war, and everyone but the cooks nap until afternoon when the turkey is done.
See if you can find your Soldier below!
