This is without a doubt one of the best Christmas letters I have ever read. We do have one family that sends out a fantastically funny one every year, but the rest are the worst drag. Some of them come from families with whom we have not otherwise communicated for a good 20 years, I'm sure. And we're a family of 6, so if we're supposed to all be smiling then every family member usually gets an individual shot. Another fun way to do a Christmas letter is to blatantly parody the traditional one. "Little Sally is displaying exceptional signs of genius. Rumour has it that her teachers have taken to calling her Einstein amongst themselves. Moreover, she is such a fantastic witness for sweet baby Jesus. Already she has led 15 of her kindergarten classmates to Christ..."Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03194509436570572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840304789503373528.post-42030537237919354142008-12-08T09:17:00.000-08:002008-12-08T09:17:00.000-08:00that's hilarious-i love the blandness of it.

I love the letter. I also read the letters I get because I don't talk to those friends all year and the letter keeps me up to date on what's going on in their lives. We haven't really had any letters that made us think we weren't doing so well, in fact last year, no joke we found out a cousin almost died and a friends dad too.

It might be because we only get like three or four a year. I'm only 18 so my parents have a lot more friends than I know of and I like to read about who these people are that my parents talk about. <BR/><BR/>Also, if the letter is from one of my friends I like to think about what it says because I can remember being there or hearing about it.<BR/><BR/>I really did like your letter though.
