Happy Holidays

The holiday season is truly unique: gifts are given and bought, and from Black Friday onwards, people are saving and selling for the hopeful present under the tree. As gifts go, the holidays are full of ‘em.

 

With the gift of giving comes the change in attitude that’s seemingly nation-wide. Stores are decked in reds and greens; while everywhere you go festive music plays in celebration of a time filled with optimism. The hope for the new year and the celebration that marks the end to the current one brings a time of reflection and self-awareness. As things are drawing to a close this Christmas, consider the act of gift giving, and all that it means– to sacrifice time, money, and down-time to give of yourself to one another.

 

The holidays can be a bittersweet time for those loved ones who serve in the armed forces. Time spent away from family coupled with the high demands of soldier life can make the holidays a precious time of reunion. For those who aren’t able to meet their loved ones this holiday season, consider H.O.P.E.Crate, a boxed multi-item gift package given to soldiers. It’s filled to the brim with items customized to suit military life and is a welcome gift any time of year. With three package options, it’s easy to give on a budget. Click here for more info.

 

However you give this holiday season, remember those who fight to protect and defend our freedom to enjoy the life we’ve come to know and love. The Supply Room thanks those who serve, and wishes all a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year.
