I would send one back that started something like this:

"Well, we're really looking forward to Christmas - we just got our power turned back on!"

[QUOTE"Well, we're really looking forward to Christmas - we just got our power turned back on!" ][/QUOTE]

Yeah, then I would go on about one kid getting out of Juvie and on probation and the other one missing Christmas cause he is in rehab...Hubby only wanting a case of Bud for his present and Grandma doing well at the nursing home selling candy bars to all the diabetics.

 

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

Don't you just love the brag letters. NOT!

 

[rparmfamily]

LOL, I hope no one laughs at mine!!!

I got a Christmast email brag letter that sounds a lot like that one.

 

[MushyMushy]

I got one that recounted two trips to WDW, a 10-day RV vacation, Kentucky Derby, New York City to see "several" broadway shows, horse camp for the DD, some other camp for the DS, a whole laundry list of activities the kids are involved in, and a kitchen remodel on their relatively new home -- just an entire page worth of activities.

When I think of all the years we spent worrying about putting food on the table...

I'm truly happy for them, but it definitely reminds me of why our friendship grew distant. We're just from two different planets. (oh, and I do have a few wealthy friends, btw)

 

[Poohnatic]

The best one I got went something like this:

John plays hooky from work as often as he can to go windsurfing. Oldest son is maxing out his student loans to go to the cheap college nearby. Kimmy's doing her best to flunk out her senior year-she loves that high school so much! E's the reason why you can't reach us on the phone (pre cell phone letter), it'd be easier to send us letters than try to call our house. K turned thirteen and bingo, sullen, moody teenager overnight!



I like reading Christmas letters, even the brag fests. Those are good for a laugh, for sure!

wealth has nothing to do with class/good taste LOL

There was more in this one too....I only highlighted the trips...

I was having trouble figuring out how a fourth grader could be a prolific writer when she is in soccer, ballet, tae-kwon-do, traveling to the south of France, etc.

Also, FYI, if your brag rag goes beyond one side of a sheet of 8.5"x11" paper, you have gone on too long. That includes photos, btw! Squeeze 'em in if you feel they are absolutely necessary!

You're very generous.......an 8.5 x 11 can still fit waaaayyyy too much info!!! LOL

 

[OhMari]

I got one and she shrunk the text of the letter down to 8 and she used such a fancy font, I couldn't read it. I had to get a magnifying glass out.

I love the one's where they are filled with all the medical procedures they endured for the year.

Well, you know that there are so many people out there living much more interesting than I and mine are. We were able to fit three of our letters on each sheet of paper.

Xerox Christmas Letter
By Ray Stevens, from "Ray Stevens Christmas - Through a Different Window"

We got a Xerox Christmas letter from the Sterling family
Seems that things in Palm Springs are going swimmingly
Their daughters both married doctors, their son was Yale's man of the year
Chip's business broke all records; Buffy's a Red Cross volunteer

We've been on their Xerox letter list twenty years or more
It's been at least that long since the Sterlings lived next door
So this year my wife Lerlene said as we were sweeping up the yard
Lets us send a Xerox letter this year instead of a Christmas card

Howdy y'all and merry Christmas

Well we still live in the double wide, but Bubba's added on
A bass boat shed and a workshop and new flamingos for the lawn
We took down the front yard tire swing now that Junior's in the pen
But it looks like a happy new year they moved him off death row again

Chorus:
Xerox Christmas letters
Whoa, nothing could be better
Then to hear from folks you hardly know
Bragging on all they have achieved
Xerox Christmas letters
Yeah, there's nothing we like better
We read them from the glow
Of our two foot aluminum tree

Our youngest is at the halfway house once again in a family way
This time the daddy lives beneath the bridge on the old I-5 freeway
And this year we all took a whirlwind tour but we didn't get too far
It happened when a twister touched down in our trailer park

Chorus

We read them in the glow
Of our two foot aluminum tree

I posted last week about this..

My mom's second cousin (I think anyway) sent his annual CHRISTMAS NOVEL (6 plus pages, plus pictures) It was all braggy about their trips to Switzerland, Bahamas, Canada, etc, et. al

The kicker was the TOPLESS picture of his 60ish year old wife, in see through BODYPAINT for a street festival somewhere. They were hanging LOW, and you could see EVERYTHING! And it was a close-up!

Who SENDS THAT KIND OF STUFF to family!
