Here's our wish list for the troops....

     In order to make each Christmas care package special, we are asking for a little nicer gifts to include in each one. As much as they love receiving socks and eye drops, that just doesn't say Merry Christmas quite as well as items listed below:

     We'll still send each of them a box of the regular stuff but each one will (hopefully) have a nice gift and also some homemade goodies, cookies, granola, peppermint bark and a Christmas stocking with gifts and a Christmas tree ornament. We're also including a coffee mug and the fixin's for pudding in a cup that they mix up and make fresh.

     Dec. 1st is the day to deliver your homebaked goodies to Suite 1048 Crossroads Mall in Oklahoma City. We need LOTS of people packing boxes every W, Th and Sat between the last Sat in October until the shipment date in early December.  Contact Karen at TheHugsProject_OKC(at)cox.net to schedule your church, office or club for a work day.

     We would like to collect enough special items so that each box could have at least one. We will be making 4,500+ Christmas boxes depending on the items received. If everyone on the OKC emailing update list would buy just 1 or 2 nice gifts to be included, it would be an AWESOME Christmas for some of America's finest young men and women. I am so glad that they are willing to go into harm's way and look evil in the eye...for ME and for YOU too.

    If you can't get your Christmas shopping done in time but would like to send funds, we can do it for you, please send checks made out to:
