Chapter XLV hosted its annual Christmas party for the Soldiers and their families of B/2/19th SFG(A). Before lunch was served, kids were running around and playing games and making Christmas crafts. After lunch, gifts were passed out one by one. The unit leadership and Chapter 45 manages the gifts unique for each child.

A few weeks before the party, each unit member asks their children what they want for Christmas. The member provides his chain of command and ultimately three unit leaders and their wives with the name of one gift per child with a limit of $50 per gift. This small team then purchases these gifts and wraps them. Each child is then provided their wrapped present and always finds something they truly want.

It was nice seeing the families having such a good time together knowing that earlier in the year they had been separated because of a long nine month deployment.
