I just got an x-mas letter that was two pages SINGLE SPACED – giving me a complete, and I mean complete year end summary of these people’s lives! Yeah – To all those who pull that crap – SAVE IT!!!!!!!!! Just so you know (and since you obviously can’t figure it out), anyone who gave two shits already knows what you’ve been doing all year because they are your friends. No one wants a self-absorbed year-end recap of how great everything is for you. Just put a picture of your happy ass in Hawaii or where ever on the Costco template like everyone else and mail it out. Those cards are great. I get to see my friends, and their kids & pets – perfect! :clap: Rant over. Thanks for reading
I share your pain dude ... must be nearly as difficult as reading a post that has not been formatted. #-o
Nothing like a letter from someone you hear from once a year letting you know how "gifted" their children are. I don't send them copies of my Daughter's straight A report cards:?:. Funny, their letters don't usually include the total feet of elevation they ascended/descended that year. Oh, maybe because they are too busy achieving greatness to get on their bike and ride! J/K, I'm not hating on self absorbed overachievers, but I agree summarizing ones life annually and sending it out is a little too much for my taste.
Are you kidding??? I love to hear how their cat has finally been trained to crap on the toilet and that their kid's fascination with lighting people on fire has come to fruition. Who cares if it takes eight pages to get to the good stuff!
I really look forward to the letter from one of my cousins about his wife and kids. He completely makes up outrageous stuff, delivered real matter-of-factly, sorta inbred dysfunctional family things you might see on bad reality TV. I won't give examples in case any of you are unfortunate enough to have something like that in your life...but it's pretty hilarious because you know he's lying.
Dear friends and family, I beat Guitar Hero on hard... thats about it... please send money... Yeah your right I should just skip the letter this year!
my ex-sister-in-law used to send out one of those every year. my favorite was when she included how her boyfriend had struggled with hemorrhoids. just about made me yak my festivus feast.
Considering the rough year many folks are having, these letters are a little more obnoxious this year. Funny thing is, one family that usually rubs it in everyone's face did not send out their yearly "We are so much better than you!" letter this year. I guess it's hard to brag when they were hit by the economic melt down.....
