Everything Inside of the December Brave Crate!!
The holiday season is officially here, and for those of us counting down deployment it can feel a little bitter sweet. The lights, the family, the traditions- they’re beautiful, but are often tinged with the fact we’re missing our loved one who is so far away. If we distract ourselves by getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of planning, shopping and decorating it can be easy to miss the joy of this season by leaving ourselves overwhelmed and stressed out.
This month, Team Brave Crate is taking a step back from the holiday stress and instead finding a bit of peace and happiness- reminding ourselves that even as we count down we can find a moment where All Is Calm. So, even as we send holiday care packages and plan for all that this season holds, we hope that everything inside of this month’s Brave Crate inspires you to make space for quiet and comfort in the next weeks of your deployment countdown.
