Every year I listen to others' comments about standard (the one that you write once, copy and send out to everyone) christmas letters. Most comments offered are not positive - it's laughable, it isn't personal, it's so "the Jones". You know what - I do it and I am proud of it. Personally, I prefer not to receive a Christmas card if it doesn't have a written message, a picture or a letter. Anyone can buy cards and throw an address and a stamp on them. I want an update, a photo, a sign of some love. Is this so wrong?
This year Janie wrote our Christmas letter. Am I training her early or just letting her express herself through writing. Whatever the case, it was not easy to let gp but she did a great job and I am proud of her!
Happy writing!

It's envy! When people can't write anything they think anyone else would like to read (OK I'm talking about me) they become Christmas Letter Haters. I can't write them but sure love to read them. Good for Janie, write away!
I'm right there with you! I definitely prefer to get a letter, or even better, a picture with a Christmas card. But I'll take it either way cause it's so nice to get something besides junk and bills in the mail!!!
Good job with the letter Janie! It's the best one I've gotten this year:)
