Yesterday I received some information about a great program to support our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s called “Operation Christmas Stocking”. What you do is fill a stocking, or a gift bag, or a box with little presents to send to the troops. What a great way to use up some of that Halloween candy! Some of the things they suggest are:<\/p>\n

–Christmas cards\"stocking\"
\n–Guitar picks
\n–Harmonica
\n–Socks
\n–CD’s\/DVD’s
\n–Games
\n–Hand Sanitizer
\n–Deoderant
\n–Travel clock
\n–Wipes
\n–Lotion
\n–Playing Cards
\n–Chap Stick
\n–Eye drops
\n–Sungasses
\n–Shampoo and Conditioner
\n–Bug spray
\n–Shaving cream and disposable razors
\n–flashlight
\n–Pens
\n–Toothbrush and paste, or floss
\n–tissues
\n–disposable camera
\n–candy

\nI think this is a great way to support those men and women who are supporting our country. And since I’ve been shopping sales and using coupons, I’ve gotten some great deals on some of these personal care items, and this would be a good way to share them.<\/p>\n

The best thing is that FedEx is shipping these for us. You just need to get your stuff to the warehouse in Salt Lake City by November 15th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Packages can be shipped or delivered to:<\/p>\n
