That's why I don't include the bad stuff. Besides, we only share the bad news with a select few (those people we actually keep in constant contact with).<br /><br />Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-5542994870154455832010-10-19T08:01:05.979-04:002010-10-19T08:01:05.979-04:00Stacy,

I try never to do the "woe is me" no matter what has happened during the year. I've gotten some of those and they're depressing. On the flip side is the annual brag sheet (usually about the children) - those are just insufferable. <br /><br />I include births, deaths, moves, job changes, major vacations if we've had one, and grandkid updates - how old they are and what they're into. Mostly my letters are short blurbs of news stuffed in around lots of pictures. This is the main reason I like Christmas letters - the pictures. Not just getting them or sending them but being able to throw them away afterwards. I always have trouble throwing our nice snapshots, even when I have to interest in keeping them. But a Christmas letter...no problem.<br /><br />I'd say do your Christmas letter if you enjoy it and just skip that one family member.Linda Leszczukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15117080878321152684noreply@blogger.com
