The Army Of Good is on the march, working to give the Mansion residents another memorable and loving and very meaningful Christmas. Being forgotten is a trauma and a draining disease, I think. You have lifted many hearts and spirits with you letters and gifts.

These (and other) socks arrived this week, one is for Red, one for Gus, one for Summer, the Mansion’s rescue cat. UPS is showing up every day with boxes and bags of great stuff for Christmas.

Your creativity and creativity are on full display, many of the Christmas gifts are quite inventive and many are even hand made.

I am dazzled at your quick and very thoughtful and complete campaign. Everyone will have gifts for Christmas, there are beautiful decorations pouring in for the Great Room and the tree, which will be arriving shortly. (Thanks for your many beautiful flowers for Connie’s memorial service.)

Because of you, everyone at the Mansion is excited and talking about Christmas. Everyone will have something under the tree. I can’t wait to see what else comes. Thanks and many blessings to you. The Mansion address is 11 S. Union Avenue, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816. I’ve seen some beautiful small stuffed animals arrive today, they are much loved as a gift here.
