            <title>A brat&apos;s Christmas letter to Santa.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[There were probably a lot of these from milbrats this year.&nbsp; Yeah, I can use that term.&nbsp; I was one.&nbsp; I remember Christmas '68.&nbsp; Lots of cool stuff, but no Dad.&nbsp; I remember there being lots of cool stuff, but except for the telescope I couldn't tell you what I got.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do remember Dad not being there.&nbsp; Except as a voice on the tape recorder.

CJ&nbsp;sends:

Life in the military is difficult, especially during deployed times. A good friend allowed me to send along this photo of a Santa list her daughter created. Her dad is currently deployed. Check out her list.

                <![CDATA[awwwww.... that sweet baby.<br />
<br />
My friend Karen's son, Ryan, got home from Iraq about 3 weeks ago- and arrived home in Cincinnati with his new bride and twin baby boys on Monday.&nbsp; Talk about a Merry Christmas!&nbsp; Karen got her son back, along with his two sons.&nbsp; Life is good, eh?&nbsp; He served 18 months in Iraq as a 50-cal gunner.&nbsp; He left engaged; came back married with 2 babies.&nbsp; He's a little jumpy, and hyper-attentive to everything going on around him, but he's back in one piece.&nbsp; REJOICE!!<br />
<br />
I know there are thousands of deployed Mommy's and Daddy's right now, and thousands of children who have similar lists as Hayden's, but that doesn't make it any easier on anyone.&nbsp; Here's hoping Hayden gets her Daddy back soon!]]>
