Take some time out of your day and pay tribute to the fallen Americans who allow us the freedom to do essentially everything we do on a daily basis.

Just in case any of you are like me, and by "like me" I mean extremely absent-minded, don't forget that today is Mother's Day. Tell the special life-giving lady in your life how much she means to you.

During the month of December I like to do shout-outs to those in the United States military for the holiday season. Today one of our users wrote us from the Marine Corps (Marine Aircraft Group 29) stationed in Jacksonville, North Carolina. They were in Iraq last Christmas, and this year their sister squadron MAG-26 will be there. So, from everyone here at AP.net - we want to wish you all the best of luck and support. Stay safe.

Happy Thanksgiving.

In light of Anton's discussion topic, let's add another December-inspired tune to the list. Our fourth holiday ABSOLUTExclusive comes from Automatic Loveletter (whose vocals you might recognize from recording with Cartel and All Time Low). Head to their AP Profile to stream "San Francisco."

As the holiday season continues to grow upon us, all of us here at AP.net would like to extend our thoughts and hearts to those members of the US armed forces serving abroad. We'd like to give a special shout out to SPC Gorski and the Headquarters Platoon of Alpha Company 44th ESB who will be serving in Iraq this Christmas. I put forth an open invitation to any member of the military to email me if you'd like to see a post for your company and/or platoon here on the main page of the website during the month of December.

It's December 1st - now we can officially get into the holiday spirit around here. The "holiday theme" is back! If you have another theme selected (or can't see it), you can pick the theme on your options page (bottom of the page). Happy holidays everyone, from all of us here at AP.net.
