If Perhaps You're Feeling Overwhelmed With The Commercialism Of The Season. . .
Check
this article out. It's about the marines who are stationed in Afghanistan. It describes their experiences for December 24th, and how they are doing being away from home in this holiday season. It really is an interesting article.
It talks about how they are in the American Embassy in Kabul that has been abandoned since 1989. It's sort of a jump into the past for them. And at the same time, they're making do with what they have to enjoy the holiday. It's not about Santa Claus or presents or things like that at all. It's just being in the company of people you respect and care for. Well, at least that's
my take on it.
