I had an in depth discussion the other morning at Lionel on my frustration with writing the loved and hated Christmas Letter. Ever since my kid was born, I've attempted to create the perfect Christmas Letter to send out to friends and family.
This year it would seem, I'm just doomed. I wrote the letter - hated it.
Rewrote it, and it was better.
Went to the store to buy holiday letterhead, and was informed that there was some sort of holiday letterhead shortage. Seriously? Yes. 5 stores later, I find some at WALMART that is at least tolerable, though not all-holiday friendly as it has fat little santas doing cartwheels across the bottom of the page. I can't even believe I went there, honestly. I avoid it like the plague, especially at this time of the year. It is done however, and that's that.
Print 'em, stuff 'em, and send 'em off to folks around the country that probably don't even read it. It's all for naught.
Still, I love this time of year for the fact that I GET them. I know that at least I read them when other people send them. I can't help but feel annoyed at people when they pick out a pretty card with tons of glitter on it, then just sign the inside and mail it off to 100+ people. I mean, you're going out of your way to spend the money on the cards, and the stamps - at least send a picture. That's good for about a thousand words, or so I'm told....
