In an effort to bring Christmas to those overseas, Xerox, the massive printing company that’s been around for as long as I can remember, will let you once again choose one of their postcard designs to send to someone overseas with their Let’s Say Thanks program.

Xerox will let you choose and send a pre-printed postcard to our service members stationed overseas. In between picking out a Christmas tree and keeping it alive, I’m sure you can find the 30 seconds it takes to do this one!

There are all sorts of designs drawn by children (some are super cute). You do have an opportunity to add your own message as well if you want (just be sure to follow their guidelines so they will actually send your card).

With a family full of military-minded folks on hub’s side (he was third-generation Navy and is a proud Veteran) you can bet I like to see companies that try to do something for our troops.

I think it’s a nice way to spread a little Christmas cheer to someone who can’t get back to their own family this Christmas. While you are at it, you can look around in your town for places that accept care packages for overseas troops and really get into the Spirit of things.

I read a lot of blogs, a lot a lot of blogs!, and happened upon this post: Support our Troops for Christmas and knew I had to share.  Right now, Xerox (you know, one of the world leaders in the printing business) is offering a free printed postcard to be delivered right into the hands of our troops overseas that includes your choice of personal message.  How awesome is that? 

I married into a military family: hubs was third generation Navy (a Nuke) on the USS Abraham Lincoln .  My father-in-law is about to go back to Afghanistan (which was completely unexpected and very fast).  Believe me when I say: I know the toll a deployment can take on BOTH sides.

Hoosier or not, little Indiana is all about community and togetherness.  This season, why not try to pass on the Christmas Spirit to someone who is so very far from home (and probably feels it now more than ever), even if just to say, “Thank you!”
