MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Nothing could be as good as being at home with friends and family, but we are getting by. Tonight was the First Annual (okay only one) THIRTIETH Naval Construction Regiment Forward (30NCR (Fwd)) Mingle Jingle. We have a courtyard around our buildings and turned it into a holiday wonderland. Someone built a fake fireplace and we had it burning with flashing red lights. Our camo netting was interlaced with lights of all colors and we had water bottles filled with orange and green chem lights. Thrown in some goodies, fake beer, Christmas trees, and santa hats and it was just right. I started the night with a Christmas Eve service that was readings and some really bad singing. It did have a candlelight singling of Silent Night. The day continues with a Jingle Bell 5K tomorrow morning and then a little time off. Really that just means the morning meetings are cancelled, but it is something.

I was on the radio tonight. It was a small radio station that broadcasts nationwide and they were doing radio interviews with different people. I am not sure what station it was, but I will try to find out.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and a very Merry Christmas. Miss everyone.
