My hubby is with the Tn National Guard, we just finished our first deployment. Prior to his guard service we were active duty for 4 years so I know a little about being a military spouse at Christmas....
You might be a military spouse at Christmas if you arrive to your first duty station, in a strange city, know no one, and have a poinsettia for your Christmas tree. It came from the apartment complex we just rented an apartment in.
You might be a military spouse at Christmas if you have no funiture to sit on for a Christmas dinner!
You might be a military spouse at Christmas if you set a new tradition of going to the movies on Christmas because you don't have family around, you are in a new city, and don't know anyone and you want something to do!
You might be a military spouse at Christmas if you take down the decorations on the 26th because you hubby leaves for deployment on the 27th!
That is all I could think of for now...

This reminds me of our first Christmas at our first duty station. We got here about three weeks before Christmas and it wasn't very "Christmasy" that year.
