If I don't ask, please don't tell. Because I don't care. I really don't care.<br /><br />The way I see it, if I care enough about you to actually READ the 8 word holiday card you sent, you are special enough to me that I already know anything you'd write in a brag letter.<br /><br />Fortunately, I only get one per year -- from the same person.Lexhttp://on2ndthought.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-21292670755021964952010-12-20T12:19:26.343-08:002010-12-20T12:19:26.343-08:00Merry Christmas Marcella,

What an obnoxious tradition. One year an old friend sent me one in an envelope into which she had also poured glitter, so when I opened the letter, glitter spilled out onto my carpet. It was impossible to clean up. I was irate before even starting to read the impersonal third person narration which always infuriates me anyway. And she signed off the letter by telling everyone which way to vote. If I get her Christmas letter this year I'll open it over the toilet for the glitter and for my upset stomach. <br /><br />Merry Christmas! :)mischiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837189368963587932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-36730799852182570112010-12-03T08:55:08.430-08:002010-12-03T08:55:08.430-08:00You had me buying it until the third paragraph.

I get my sister's Christmas letters that they send out every year and I want to burst out laughing. The one I received yesterday went on and on about her oldest son getting a big promotion at his job. It said nothing about what a lousy husband and father he is (was too busy playing a video game to attend the family's Thanksgiving dinner) or how his children whine constantly for every new gadget on the market and my sister, obligingly, buys them for them. <br /><br />I am sorely tempted to write my own HONEST Christmas letter and see how that floats....:)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-63446179146013255622010-12-02T23:38:48.047-08:002010-12-02T23:38:48.047-08:00Agent,
