The holidays are usually intertwined with the stress of packed schedules, flight delays, last-minute gift shopping. For many of us in the military community, this season might be yet another reminder that a friend or family member is not home to share in the festivities.
The truth is, real life is not a holiday card. If you’re struggling this holiday season, Cohen Veterans Network can help. Reach out to get the support you need and encourage loved ones to do the same.

I am with everyone on the thread...grandkids make the Holidays a heck of a lot more fun.
"Pop-Pop, you don't have a Chimney, how is Santa going to get in?"
"Oh, he just knocks on the door of us older folks."
"He can do that? You have met him?"
I was cornered. My wife saved the day.
"Silly, when he knocks on the door you go to look. He sneaks in through the window and when you close the door, he is gone."
Next year he will be five and find out...but he will pretend for another three or four years.

I am going to ask for 50 pairs of identical white socks. There is great utility in that.

MAJ Ken Landgren - I used to not wear socks once the "fuzzy" stopped being present, but I never tossed them. So I have about 80 pair of black socks. I roll them all to army standards cause it's the only way to store socks. If you don't agree then you're wrong and you should feel bad.
Now I only toss them when the elastic in them wears down which takes a surprisingly long time.
EDIT: It sounds like a lot of socks but they come in packs of 12 and they only cost around $9. It's really easy to accumulate socks.

MAJ Ken Landgren "If you don't agree then you're wrong and you should feel bad." I am not only laughing out loud, I am going to pass that along to my friends.

I would rather have a family gathering and good food and company. Everything I got, I have.
