It's that time of year again - Gifts & Cookies for Soldiers
Many young people won't be home for the holidays, so PeaceThings will be helping to send holiday joy to them. My daughter, CPT Phoebe Price will be at Al Taji Military Base in Iraq for the next year, and she will provide us with the names, addresses and wish lists of up to 400 soldiers who would love to receive holiday treats from home.
This is our fourth year doing this, and it’s been a great success. Each sponsor sends gifts, cards and baked goods to one or more soldiers. We encourage individuals, classrooms, families, groups, and organizations to sponsor soldiers. We will provide you with addresses, deadlines, mailing instructions, and gift suggestions. If you would like to share some holiday cheer with those unable to be home, please email soldiers@peacethings.com and let us know how many soldiers you will sponsor.

Our friends at www.Muzility.com are offering soldiers and their families/friends an opportunity to share experiences through video on the Internet. It's a service similar to those online photo services, but video. Muzility will take videos up to an hour long and post them on their website for $4.95 each month for up to 4 months and $10 a month thereafter. Access to the video is controlled by the person who submits it, and the video is accessed by means of a unique address that they can make available to whomever they want. To take advantage of this offer, go to www.Muzility.com and when you submit your video note that you want to take advantage of the Special Peacethings discount. A nice way to keep in touch.
If you are happy to receive this newsletter, please pass it on to your friends. Pardon double mailings to those who are both customers and sponsors. Be assured that we respect your privacy and would never share our list with others.
If this has reached you by mistake, please respond to this email with NO in the subject line and your address will be removed. Please send questions or comments about PeaceMatters to info@peacethings.com.
Thanks, and Happy, Peaceful Holidays!
