Twas the night before Christmas And there all alone ... I saw a young woman Who sat by the phone For what was she waiting On this holiday night Where were the stockings Christmas tree, lights? I saw one little tear As it rolled down her face And she curled up in a blanket Then looked round the place Something was missing Someone not here In her face I saw sadness Did I also see fear? I paused and I wondered What could it be? That would cause a young woman To look so lonely How could anyone so precious Choose such a life? Then I realized this woman Was a soldiers wife. Her gift for this Christmas Is to hear that phone ring
?Hey baby, I miss you Don?t worry about a thing? Each day I thank God
for the soldiers that serve Ever willing to fight and lay down his life But how often do I ever remember think About the young woman who is that soldier?s wife Thank you God for these women They are just as strong They sacrifice daily And without help get along So God please protect our soldiers On this holiday eve so late And give an extra hug To their wives who wait

I hope all of you with deployed spouses get at least a phone call. I was so grateful and in tears that my husband was able to Skype me a few hours ago (our Christmas eve/his Christmas morning), and we were able to open up gifts and watch our 4 month old baby girl light up with excitement at her toys TOGETHER. It really made her 1st Christmas much better than I had anticipated!
I can only wish all of you the same joy and happiness I felt.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to you all!

Skype is wonderful. My dh is also deployed right now and we actually just hung up from skype as well. Hopefully we will be be able to skype in the morning and watch our ds open his gifts. We are determined not to let this distance apart bring our spirits down for the holidays. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

My DH and I actually just finished Skyping and doing the Santa thing with our 3 and a half month old son. LO was tired from having been at a family gathering for several a bit beforehand, but he still enjoyed seeing DH and helping me open the presents. I was able to put together LO's activity center so DH could see him play in it - the smiles on LO's face and the giggles while he was playing made it worth it to go ahead and put it together. I hate it that DH is missing being here for LO's first Christmas, but I'm very thankful for Skype - it definitely made it feel more like he was actually here with us. I can't wait until next year when DH is home for Christmas!
So there's this boy. He kinda stole my heart. He calls me "Mom"
