We got a lot of holiday letters this year and some of them had a cringe factor of 10+. You know the kind I'm talking about. Don't you hate those families that send out holiday letters on
candy cane bordered stationery and use both sides of the paper to regale you
with their overachievements for the year?
Like they have a daughter who
invented a new cancer vaccine at Harvard Medical School and a son who’s dating
Pippa, the sister of Kate Middleton, who married the Prince of Wales and another
son who solved global warming using algae. You know the ones…you loathe reading
those letters after the first sentence of how they spent the new year in a castle in Tuscany. Let’s admit it. We
all hate them.
So I've decided to boycott writing holiday letters and reading them too. Maybe it's because our family doesn’t have glorious stories about life-changing events. We're actually quite boring. Suffice it to say we’re
still here, we’re still smiling and despite life’s challenges,
we are grateful for life’s sense of humor. And we’re still waiting for the
cancer cure, another royal wedding and the solution to global warming. So get
busy!
