THE NORTH POLE, DECEMBER 19, 2005

This Christmas, there's a new kind of care package going out to the U.S. Military.
Although they can't eat, wear, or stow its\' contents in their mess kits, it's a
little reminder of home that our troops can take along with them wherever they go.
It's called Operation G.I. Jingle -- and it's a special way for military moms and
dads to "visit" with their kids back home this holiday season.

A G.I. Jingle is a professionally produced video of \"the real Santa Claus\" speaking
directly to the kids of G.I.s, along with a letter from Santa that parents can
customize with their personal messages of love, hope and reassurance. It is one of
a series of Jinglegram Greetings that give kids around the world the thrill of a
visit with Santa Claus right from the comfort of home. Jinglegram Greetings are all
absolutely free.

\"Considering the amount of death and destruction shown on the nightly news, it\'s an
awfully heavy burden for a child to have to wonder about the whereabouts, well-being
and safety of their mom or dad,\" says Lisa Steinke, a co-founder of
www.Jinglegram.com -- and herself a mother of three young children.

\"Year after year, decade after decade, kids have been thrilled to visit with Santa
Claus,\" says Lori Anne Wardi, the other co-founder of www.Jinglegram.com. \"He\'s the
one man in the world who can make all their biggest dreams come true. And for that
reason, when kids see and hear Santa on their computer screen relaying the heartfelt
wishes of their military mom or dad, it helps to assure them that everything\'s going
to be all right.\"

Last year, more than 2,000 G.I.s had a chance to \"visit\" with their children at home
by sending a G.I. Jingle from Santa Claus. This year, Lisa and Lori Anne hope to
increase that number exponentially. After all, says Lisa, \"what better care package
could a military mom or dad get than the knowledge that they\'ve helped to make their
child\'s heart happy for the holidays.\"

Jinglegram.com is appealing to webmasters, broadcasters, news writers, and citizens
of all backgrounds to spread the word about Operation G.I. Jingle so that as many
military families as possible can take advantage of this unique, free Christmas
gift.
