Holiday letter
EW.
I spent a large portion of time today composing one of those dreaded holiday newsletters……. I know, I know, but we have a lot of family and friends who live far away, and we don’t talk to them on a regular basis. So I try every 3 or 4 years (or more) to write a letter updating everyone on our lives. I try to make it interesting and somewhat funny (that’s really hard when your writing to a large diverse group). I also try to include some pictures of the family, especially the girls, just to let them know what we look like these days.
I try to keep it short, but boy, I had a lot to tell this year — had to do some serious editing! SO much is going on these days! Wow – I feel like I don’t do anything, till I start trying to write about it all……
My children are singing…….. “This is the song that never ends…….”. I know it’s wrong, and illegal, but I think I have to go kill them now. Remember Shari Lewis and Lambchop?? Oldest dd loved that show.Man I hate that song.
Tomorrow we go to see Chronicles of Narnia. Hooray!
Our dog has a foot fetish. She loves socks. She eats them — LITERALLY! When you are standing, she comes and sits…. on your foot. While sleeping… she sleeps on your feet. The weirdest part though… sometimes she will just randomly come up and lick your bare foot. It’s a very odd feeling, and one you won’t be in a hurry to repeat, let me tell you!Well……… maybe you would.
I can’t speak for everyone. I personally don’t care for it……. but that’s just me!
Ok off to rest… Holiday baking begins tomorrow which means tomorrow I’ll have biscochitos and fudge! Hooray!!!
Here’s pictures of my cat (who can beat up your dog) and my foot licking dog………
What about you? Do you send out holiday letters? Photo cards? What?

hi there. The pics of the cat and dog are great! I haven’t done anything this year. usually send cards and put photos in them. Everything seemed to sneak up on me this year and I just wasn’t ready for it. I mean I know its the same time every year and all, but the kids are busy in the school play and work and well…everything.
Last year I made rum balls and home made kahlua, and gave them out as gifts. I don’t know if thats gonna get done, the shopping the wrapping and bringin oldest dd home from college. I need more time in a day!!
I’m sorry I haven’t visited your site sooner. I missed the comment. Your site is very pretty. I like the different ways to say Merry Christmas at the top of the page. Very cool.
I want ALL your biscochitos! Since I’m indian I will trade my kids for them!
People are pretty lucky if they get a christmas card from me. Maybe next year I will do a holiday letter. Sounds kinda fun. Plus next year hubby gets promoted and gets bachelors degree. Girls will start school and I will sit on the couch and eat my bon bons. That should wow em!
Not the dreaded letter. LOL. That is too funny. I should post the one I got the other day. Our dog likes my slippers and trys to “AHEM” have her way with them. OUr other dog used to eat Kleenex. My son loved Lamb Chop. That song used to drive me crazy. At the end, Charlie Horse, don’t slam the “*******Door******. Too funny. Have a great weekend.
We send out a collage of photos from different events through out the year.
Hi.. Thanks for the encouragement. I’m having a nice time in TX.. and though the bus ride was long.. it’s nice to get away. By the way, my niece’s degree is in Criminal Justice, thanks for asking. Her Associate’s is in Biomed. Technology. Who knows what she’ll do now, but she’ll be great at it whatever it is.
