3 ways Alexa makes a difference in this veteran’s home

Christmas can often involve families gathering around the Christmas tree and decorating it together. Sometimes those experiences can be difficult for Anne, an Amazon customer in Texas and a disabled U.S. Army veteran.When Anne describes how she spends Christmas with her husband, kids, and grandkids, she mentions that the holiday season can sometimes be a difficult time for her. Anne was medically retired from the military after an accident in 1999. She was injured during her service and became a C4 quadriplegic.“Everyone’s decorating, I don’t get to have any participation and I have to watch everybody put all the decorations out,” she said.This year, Anne and her husband, Harry, decided to do something different: They added Alexa-enabled Christmas lights to their tree. So, when Anne asks, “Alexa, turn on Christmas,” the house lights up.“I’m in charge of the Christmas tree now,” Anne said. “For me, that was huge. That brought tears.”
