Christmas in Iraq sucks. Been there, done that. A bit off topic but that begs the request - if you know someone over there, (or even if you don't for that matter) send greetings, not just for Christmas. I know I used to look forward to reading and answering the 'any sailor/soldier' letters just as much as the ones from home - a real morale booster. www.anysoldier.us has a good setup showing how to do this for those interested.

Back to topic - am I ready for it? Absolutely. I sure wish the temps here in east texas would drop a LOT more though... maybe a good snowstorm or two...

be well and early happy holidays!
