Do you publish and mail a Christmas letter?
I do not.
But, my parents DO and it inevitably contains something about me and my family (as well as my sisters.)
This year I happened to be chatting with my dad who noted that he just finished the Christmas letter. I asked him to email it to me. Not that I was going to play copy editor but...well I wanted to check it out before it went to the presses.
If I recall, in previous years there have been mentions of items that I personally would not have elected to broadcast to my parents' friends and distant relatives.
But then I thought, hell, I talk about my bowels often enough here to an audience I have (mostly) never met so... I guess it would be pretty hypocritical for me to object to my parents offering mild-mannered topics relating to my family, such as real estate transactions, recent vehicle acquisitions, etc.
The one thing that bothers me is that for some reason my dad talks more about my husband than me or my daughter combined!

I've done the letters a few times (not this year, though) and my parents do them, too. But, they tend to talk a lot about my sister's family and not so much about mine, so.....take that for what it's worth. lol |

I don't do those letters - I figure those who are close to me - or who have never met me but read my blog (LOL) know what is going on in my life. My mom used to do them but for some reason she did not this year and that is just fine with me! |

Nope, I don't do the letters, either! (Sheesh... That could be scary! ;P But we won't go there...!)
And hey, there could be worse things than going on about hubby and daughter. I mean, what if he said he hated his son-in-law and such....?
I'm just kidding!! :D
I don't even speak to my inlaws anymore. Hubby doesn't speak to his parents either. Neither do his two brothers. That actually says volumes about his "psycho parents". (Hubby's words, actually.) It's a LOOOOONG story.
You didn't say. Did you change anything in your dad's Christmas letter?

In answer to your first question: no.
I don't really like them, myself, but lots of people do it, so what do I know? I guess as long as your dad is talking about your husband and daughter in a good light, it's a good thing! No mention of the bowels, I assume! |
