Over the years Christmas letters have gotten a bad rap.  I don’t mind getting them, in fact I usually enjoy reading about the lives of far flung friends and family.

Sometimes I cringe at the braggy things people choose to write about.  Other times I wish the writer of the Christmas letter had heard of spell-check.  But generally speaking I enjoy the effort thatt the person put forth to send us a  letter and card.  The only letters I will openly mock are those that are written from the point of view of their pets.  I’m sorry, but hearing about your year from Fluffy’s  point of view is not interesting.

This website has tips for making your Christmas letter this  year one that will be enjoyed, not mocked.

This year I never even got around to sending Christmas cards.  So really, who am I to make fun of anyone who has it more together than I do.  I think I might send out New Year cards this year.  I am shooting for sometime in the New Year.  Don’t want to put too much pressure on myself now.

So, what do you think about the holiday cards?  Love ‘em?  Hate ‘em?  Don’t really care either way?
