we get one of these from a person who MISSPELLS their own name on the address label.

two years in a row, i am reading this thing and CANNOT for the life of me figure out who it is.
on and on about the wife learning scrap booking and how they would LOVE input on what colors they should paint the walls and if anyone had any help with decorating advice, they would love to here from us. (not joking here)

i read them over and over. IT WAS A SALES PITCH! some guy trying to drum up business by sending out the stupid 'Christmas update'. the decorating advice stuff was trying to get people to call him! same with the letter, you call trying to figure out who this 'friend/relative' is and it's some guy trying to up his sales!

not only was the letter just mundane and about kids doing regular kid stuff, the spelling was atrocious. even the address was messed up on the signature line.

so, not only do we endure the amazing adventures of family that we never see,

we get to read all about some salesmans' family that i have never even met.

the fact that he put stuff about his kids in a letter to strangers is just dumb on his part as a parent. like there aren't enough psycho's out there??? why not invite some to your home or workplace?

Wouldn't it be dreadful if their Christmas Tree burned their home down, they all lost their jobs and they got salmonella from store bought eggs in egg nog, ALL before Christmas?

Miss Jayne, that has to be a new low level for tacky, an advertiser milking the Christmas letter idea looking for leads - wow!

okiemommy, thanks for the major hoot, and if I'd taken a sip of tea right before that, our 'puter screen would now have freckles! If anybody could see me sitting here cackling by the computer, it'd be time for those little white coats to take me away for sure...

You guys are the best!

What's funny on my side of my letter, my darling caveman found this thread, read it, and then proceeded to tell me ..and i quote, "we do NOT have the car on blocks" i swear he added yet to the sentence.
What's even worse, the whole rock up the nose, yes that is what happened yesterday, and yes, that is the excuse she told me. Last year, we did have a sponge shoved up the nose of my oldest daughter. After a month of smelling yucky infection, and three trips to the doctor, emergency room, back to the doctor, finally to an e.n.t doctor, the sponge was removed. Her excuse.. wait for it... the CAT put it up there!

skand,

don't you sometimes wonder just WHOSE genes the kids got, anyway?!?!

It's fun hearing from Jim's other half. You must have a great sense of humor to deal with him on a daily basis!

Just kiddin', Jim - you know we love ya & we're like family here, pickin' on each other like chickens!

I haven't a clue who they get it from. Lesson to self and others half crazy like us.. Never pick up things you hear crying under the bushes, it just might be kids wanting you to keep them!
We used to go over to friends houses, and they were like, where's the kids? we'd tell them, in the closet. OMG they believed us!!!
The older the girls got, we'd turn it to, we had to put locks on, they were getting out. Had to put a light in there, they're scared of the dark. Had to put sound-proofing on, they started talking, didn't want people to hear them. The whole time, before we knew it, they'd come over, go into the girls room, and look to see if we had done all that stuff to the closet. They were gonna call CPS on us.
TG they realized it was just a joke and the girls were at thier gramma's.

If you can't make a joke of it, you're just boring, is our semi-motto
