Sending Christmas cards to American soldiers deployed overseas or recovering from injuries in a military hospital seems like a great idea–spreading Christmas cheer to people who are more than likely missing their families at a time when everything seems to be all about family and togetherness. However, this mail doesn’t actually get delivered, according to our friends from the Christmas Myths blog. You can still send Christmas greetings to soldiers though, you just have to make sure to get a name and address.
