Yesterday my family watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade from the comfort of our home. We enjoyed the Hawaii All State band, representing 47 high schools. The band was followed by a Hawaiian themed float sponsored by King's Hawaiian Rolls. Yum, Yum!
The Macy's parade ends with the arrival of Santa Clause. I share this press release from the USPS ...
NORTH POLE — Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus — and the U.S. Postal Service can help you prove it when Santa replies to your child’s letter — complete with a North Pole postmark.
“Letters from Santa” must be received by the Anchorage, AK, postmaster no later than Dec. 15. Santa’s helpers at the Postal Service will take care of the rest.

Let's not forget deployed personnel! I have a list of men and women who would like to receive holiday cheer! You can send cards to individuals ... or a units of varying sizes. Please contact me for the mailing list and helpful hints at sos.aloha@yahoo.com.
I am giving away a book choice from my convention stash to one randomly selected commenter. To enter the giveaway,
1. Leave a comment about holiday cards - when do you start writing them? Do you include a "recap" letter? Family photo? Or something else?
We write a "recap" letter, set it aside, and remember to send the cards after Christmas.
2. Comments are open through Sunday, November 27, 10 pm in Baltimore.
3. I'll post the winner on Monday, November 28.
Mahalo,
Kim in Baltimore
Aloha Spirit in Charm City
