Christmas Letter

OH, HAI!!

Ok, so the Internets is alive with the talk of the Christmas letter.  A letter that you send to everyone you know telling them about all of the exciting stuff you and your family did that year.  I gotta be honest.  I've never heard of this!  I thought maybe it was a new thing or something, but no!  Apparently this dates back to before the Internets where people did this thing called writing to one another.  Crazy!

I can't imagine that people have enough huge life events to make a whole letter, though, so what does the letter entail?  I mean, mine would be all "Eric and I had a baby.  Big Man turned into a little fish and is doing wonderful on swim team.  Little Man earned his yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do."  That would be the extent of our exciting news.  What do you fill the rest of the page with?

"The cats continue to poo in a box.  The boys clean the bathrooms every other Saturday.  I do a lot of laundry.  The bot needs her nails filed often.  Eric types on a computer all day.  This little girl on Supernanny looks like Justin Bieber."  Looks like my Facebook statuses.  I should probably reevaluate that.
