Those abominable bragging Christmas letters !

Brilliantly written!

Now see, if I sent this, everyone would just think everything and everyone is doing just fine as usual. Well, I would have to add that 18 yr. old nephew is doing time for stealing a big spool of cable from the phone company a few months back and got caught when he took it to a friends trailer and the horrible smell from them sitting out back burning the wire to get the $15 worth of copper out caused the neighbors in the trailer park to call the fire department.

Other than that, it's all good.

I sent one out in retailiation in 1994 or 95. It revolved around my cats and my job as a clerk in a bakery. I wish I had it on the computer.

Apparently the cousin it was aimed at either took it to heart or was so offended I didn't get one for several years.

Either way, mission accomplished!

I have a few vampire teenage nephews. They don't wear black eyeliner, but all they do wear is black. They are pale white too. I imagine they'll grow out of it, but some don't. We had a 25 year old guy in my art class that still lived with his parents and wore sunglasses in class and dyed his hair silver...like Christmas silver. Before that it was platinum blonde. He wore all black and red. He was interesting folk.​

Oh man, I am so with you Buff, on this subject.

However, I have to ask, why didn't you post the letter you got? That would have been equally amusing. Or maybe you did . . . I haven't read the whole thread yet.

Those letters make me gag.

Funny!

I have a hint on how to get off of all of the yearly family newsletter lists. Reach your 40's/50's without having children, and .... voila; they just stop appearing in the mail.

I'm in my 40's with no kiddies - why am I still getting them?????


Actually, I did just get a newsletter from an ex Lt. Colonel in the Army - he and his wife are in Bethel, Alaska operating a Christian radio station. They didn't brag, not even once. And they even have chickens.

Buff Hooligans, Sorry, I guess it doesn't work for everyone.

I love to be entertained by Christmas letters. And yours takes the cake. Just where does that saying come from anyway "takes the cake"? Anyway, I don't write 'em I just read 'em. Its very hard not to choke on the popcorn sometimes.
