This year, I was "Superman's close friend, who we just adore." Um, CLOSE FRIEND? Did she know something I didn't? Was he gonna get rid of me?<br /><br />When he proposed three days before Christmas, she said that he should have told her his plan- then she would have put "fiancee" in the letter. That would have been much better than "close friend!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777216669371740860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148069244490960291.post-37028348547079641702010-12-23T15:49:59.101-06:002010-12-23T15:49:59.101-06:00That is a letter I would really enjoy receiving.
...That is a letter I would really enjoy receiving.<br /><br />We only one time were moved to write a Christmas letter and it was the same type of letter. It was after 2 years of not sending out gifts or cards ... we thought we should explain that after 10 years of marriage we had finally had children ... 3 in 15 months ... and we were up to our eyebrows in dirty diapers and boogers. <br /><br />Merry Christmas to you all and congrats to your sister.Merri Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777226666974537073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148069244490960291.post-35183386706169200622010-12-23T15:03:54.818-06:002010-12-23T15:03:54.818-06:00OMGosh that was awesome!!

I love the christmas cards that show you a montage of places people have been on vacation. Our card would be a montage of a pasture.

(he does our letters) This year wasn't as funny, although he did write it at 3 am under pressure that it must get in the mail. I think the best line of ours this year was -- "She's done a great job of not grabbing the Christmas tree - I really don't think her hands being duct taped to her head has anything to do with that - she's just naturally well behaved." :)<br /><br />**disclaimer, we do not have our 10 month olds hand duct taped. . .but it sounded good in the letter<br /><br />Something I did see someone do & this would be a good one for your family. This person found objects of places/things they did through the year. Put it all together with some other stuff & made an I Spy picture. Typed up a very short description & then kids could look at the letter to find the different objects.Jester 6https://www.blogger.com/profile/16522940460592166782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148069244490960291.post-61305027612991352592010-12-23T07:11:04.752-06:002010-12-23T07:11:04.752-06:00So Funny!

That is a letter I would happily read through:o) We got 4 Christmas letters so far, 2 were welcome (though one made me pretty jealous), and 2 were from relatives I've met once and hadn't really thought about since then. Oh well :o)<br /><br />Congrats to your sister!Abby @ I Used To Have A Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16983169830541375974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148069244490960291.post-35855255159252178712010-12-23T06:11:54.447-06:002010-12-23T06:11:54.447-06:00Oh My Goodness!

I was holding our little nephew, and someone inevitably mentioned I looked good holding one of those! I will officially be in menopause in February, BUT I swear everyone in the room had to chime in to tell me about women in their 50's and 60's being pregnant! <br /><br />Did I SERIOUSLY need to hear that? Merry :-P Christmas to them ;-) <br /><br />Merry Christmas to you. Glad to see you are up and about after your crazy travel days!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003384586082557583noreply@blogger.com
