Default Re: Anyone else dread the "Christmas Letter" from their friends/famili

Instead we are blessed with the online daily versions known as Facebook and Twitter.

Yes. An essay is a bit much and many times include details nobody cares about. But I have sent out notes with Xmas cards with no more than 2 or 3 sentences about each of the 4 of us.

We all tend to lose touch with people in our lives that we care about. Properly written, I welcome them. I could care less about Aunt Sally's wart.

+1. Especially once you start having kids. I have a 3 year old and a 4 month old, and I barely have time for anything but them and work.

I don't even know most of my family; I've met them, heard their names, I can't keep them straight.

It's one thing to include a personalized note or something to a particular person, but the generic full page bragathon to everyone is what I detest.
