A Duffel Blog holiday break

Merry Christmas! We're going on vacation.

A Duffel Blog holiday break

It’s been an incredible year here at Duffel Blog, and we couldn’t have done it without your support. Thank you for sticking with us, laughing with us, and sharing our stories far and wide.

As the year winds down, we’re taking a much-needed holiday break to recharge our batteries (and maybe polish our sarcasm skills). Starting today, we’ll be stepping away from the inbox until January 6, 2025.


Duffel Blog is an independent publisher that only exists with the backing of readers. If you value our writing, please consider supporting our team of military veterans as a free or paid subscriber. Thank you! 👇
