I have a Christmas tree! Casie sent it and it arrived fresh from the states yesterday (maybe not fresh). Casie sent me what she refers to as Christmas-In-A-Box. Casie says it is everything I need to make my holiday brighter. It contained one tree with lights, two stockings, a tree skirt, two Christmas Cd's, five Christmas DVDs, hot chocolate mix, and four gifts.
The Cd's are: A Christmas Together by John Denver and The Muppets and a mix of Holiday Classics. The DVDs include: It's A Wonderful Life (my favorite), A Christmas Story, A Charlie Brown Christmas, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and Elf.
The kit came with explicit instructions. First, find a coffee can and fill it with sand. Finding sand on post is a harder task than many may think. The coffee can is used as my tree stand. Second, put up the tree immediately. Third, not to open the gifts until Christmas morning. Any lastly, do not be sad this holiday season. The last instruction will be the hardest.

So I guess it will feel like Christmas in Iraq after all. Thanks Casie (I love you!)

Merry Christmas Charlie Brown!! It's kind of a sad little tree, but it works.
AWWWW! Thanks Cassie! I knew you needed a little Xmas cheer. You can't have Xmas w/out a tree, no matter where you are! I hope that makes your holiday a little brighter and knowing that we are all over here thinking about you!

I thought I said to publish my comments but they aren't here so I must have goofed. What a great gift! We will have to call you on Christmas day. By the way, I am at work and everything downloaded in one minute or less. Fantastic-music too.
Ben,
I'm glad you have something for the
Holiday season. That was a great idea Casie. We all will be thinking of you . Hope this makes it a little brighter for you and cheerful too.It's a cute tree and so bright.
awe shucks! Case sure is the greatest!
It is a cute little tree! I have to say, it is a little Charlie Brown Christmas but...all it needs is a little love. I'm not sure how much Santa can fit in those teeny stockings but he's magical, he'll work it out!
We'll most def. take pictures over Christmas. So you can stop worrying. I'm sure Casie will be there with her video camera and chronicle it all much to our embarassment...but I'll get her too, don't you worry, eh! (Threw that in there just for you)
Anyway, Christmas looks great in your little home! :)
Take care!
That was an awesome idea Casie!
Hope it cheers up your holiday season a bit Ben. I was actually watching Christmas Vacation the other day too and I thought about how we always used to bring it to Aunt Tina's on Christmas Eve and watch it...and that one year SOMEONE dropped it down the stairs and we had to tape it back together...
