A Big Sarge Christmas
 

I want to thank you for making this a very special Christmas. This year has been very hard for me with the medical problems and PTSD events. I'm hanging on to my job by a thread. I moved to an off grid trailer to save money. I asked Clod if some people could send me a few cards. To tell the truth, I needed something to display to look like Christmas and I just couldn't afford it. I'm even displaying the GVHS drawings I received. Those really touched my heart.

I never expected you to send me gifts too. Bless you. They really helped me when it came time to put stockings out for the kids. If you don't mind, I'm going to post some photos of my Christmas with the kids.

One more thing, yes money is tight, but I am very comfortable. The VA is paying for all my meds but one. I have propane heat and running water due to the water tank the FD fills for me. I'll have a small generator up and running in a couple of weeks. Bless you all

Here is my special friend, age 3, she was scared until Mrs. Santa Claus (TY-911 dispatcher) told her it was ok to stay with the police man until her mother picked her up. She was so precious and I promised I would send her picture to Santa to show what a brave girl she was! We had a tea party at the PD and ate some cookies that a dwellar had sent

Here's a photo of the cards and drawings I received. All but 3 of these came from the cellar or GVHS (arranged by a dwellar).

Sarge - I'm coming clean publicly as your SS coordinator only. I conspired with a couple lady dwellars who also deserve credit for their help. My son and his Special Ed classmates were very excited to thank a "Real Hero" such as yourself by sending you cards and writing you notes and drawing the pictures for you. I'm so glad you enjoyed it all.
Making your Christmas a little more special has made us very happy.
Wishing you all the goodness the new year has to offer.

Nice.

Thats really cool.

Merry Christmas, Sarge. You know what its about. Good cop.. Have a donut.

I painted your trailer for you for Christmas. I hope you like the color, the store was out of plaid and paisley so it was this or tie-dye.

thinking it over, considering the PTSD maybe Degas ballerinas might be a better choice

I like the second design. With the first one he might go out to use the facilities and not be able to find his way back.

Sarge, you ARE a Christmas Angel.

Such a lovely little lady you had to tea!

can you flood fill the trailer with sarge's picture so it looks like there's a whole tribe of him?

It's not the angels that have little girls for tea Wolf, it's the TIGERS!

I'd love to see more pics, Sarge.
And I so happy that thoughtful Dwellars made your Christmas a little bit better.
But as everyone has said - you deserve it. I'm sure you were in the thoughts of many other people too.

If I could afford it, I would paint my trailer with the ballerinas. I love it!!! Now you have to put up with some more pics of our party at my daddy's house. We have Addie displaying her make up and the wonderful ginger bread house we made.

Your pictures have a certain artistic quality this week, Sarge. Very nice.

I laughed out loud at your Katrina gingerbread house.
In a good way - it looks very much like some of the art projects "my" children make.

Tell those involved that it looks gorgeous - because it does.

Sarge, you may not know it but to us you are a hero, man. Have a great Christmas season.

^^WHS^^

Please be patient with me. This turned out to be one of the most wonderful times I have had. Here's a couple of pics of how 2 big sisters clean up their younger sibling

The handcuffs on the door knob are a nice jingly touch.:lol2:

sarge, haven't talked to you in a bit. you do know that the cop bashing i've been doing lately has to do with the bad side. i am truly proud to know you sir! you've a great heart and God Bless you sir! Merry Christmas and have a Blessed new year!

oh i don't take cop bashinh to heeart. there are good cops & bad cops jist like in any profession. sometimes the power goes to their head

you don't appear to have the authoritative/abusive cop personality sir

"okay what i'm gonna need you to do for me right now is step quietly out of the thread with your typing hands visible"

Everything he said Sarge.

You be good egg.

I'll be posting some more pics soon. I know they aren't the most interesting, but I really had a fantastic Christmas mainly due to all of the good folks here. I just want to share

They are interesting Sarge!
To you and to us.

Keep posting because we love them.

^^WSS^^

I love pictures. :D

Where are the pictures!!!

Working on Christmas decorations. Addie is putting gum drops on a plastic tree we have had for over 60 years

Addie & Louis wrapping gifts

Finally, here are some pics of our Katrina disaster

Those are AWESOME! Looks like everyone had a great time.

outstanding if i do say so! wonderful sir!

Lovely! Great to see everyone having such a good time!

Thanks to all of you for the wonderful cards & gifts. You really made this special for me!

You've got great kids, Sarge. Thanks for the great pix too. :)

Your pics warm my heart, Sarge. I am glad to have seen them.

Sarge those are wonderful.
Do I see some Smarties in the photo? Might just be wishful thinking.
I'm glad Elizabeth is smiling, she looks dead cute with a red nose :)

Then again, all of them look cute.

Awwww. This thread is lovely. I wasn't over much for Christmas cheer in the runup, but this has given me a warm glow.

They're all gorgeous, but Addy is so cute there really should be a law against it.

Sundae, you did see Smarties. They were eating them & some cookies from Lola Bunny while decorating. Twas one of the happiest times we have all had together. What made it so special was the collapse of our gingerbread house and Addie deciding her make up should look like a Pict

This. Brilliant!
