Christmas Letters
I get the idea behind Christmas letters. I actually enjoy reading the ones my husband’s parents used to send out to their friends all over the country after they moved away.
I started sending out a Christmas letter a few years ago just to give it a shot. Each year it sounded more and more competitive and full of B.S., no matter how hard I tried to sound like a normal person. I always ended up reading the darn thing with a Valley Girl accent.
Some letters I get are just too stinkin’ long, chronicling every minute of every day of the past year. Some are so short you wonder if they spent the year in jail or something.
