Merry Christmas! It's roughly 6:00 PM here in Kosovo which means it's high noon on the eastern seaboard. I hope everyone had a happy and peaceful Christmas eve and a wonderful Christmas morning.
Last night, CPT Gustafson (the chaplain for one of our infantry units, Task Force Bayonet) performed a beautiful 23:00 Christmas Eve candlelight service which we enjoyed immensely. He followed this up by delivering an equally stirring yet joyful 11:00 AM Christmas day sermon. This was of course, followed by one of the most debaucherous and decadent meals the Army has ever served. The DFAC (dining facility) was decorated like a Broadway play. While in the serving line, I asked for dark meat and was handed what appeared to be a large leg bone brimming with meat. The taste was slightly peculiar but quite good. Though I'll never be entirely sure, I have a suspicion I had a hearty serving of jackalope. I feel fine right now, but do have this uncontrollable hankering for raw carrots...
Here are some scenes from the last 48 hours:

I hope you and your families enjoy a peaceful, safe and Merry Christmas Day!
Until next year,
Muller out.
