Tips? We don’t need no stinkin’ tips.
Dear family and friends
It’s time once again
To regale you with tales of our year
So without further ado
Here’s our card to you
The little folks we hold so dear:
My husband climbed Mount Everest
Armed with only a flashlight and pen
There’s a parade planned in his honor
If he ever climbs down again.
Our children are both quite successful
As one might expect they would be
Just one notch ahead on the ladder
Of whatever your kids have achieved.
The grandkids, of course, are the smartest,
Most beautiful, bravest, and best,
Whatever they do they earn straight A’s
And live life with unquenchable zest.
As for me, well I’ve remained humble
Through all of the accolades and praise,
With my good looks and sweet disposition
I’m still approachable on odd numbered days.
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!
And as always, Peace, people!
Our illustrious family at Christmas in Nashville last year.
Most of our family. Our daughter-in-law Liz isn’t pictured.
Here’s our son and beautiful daughter-in-law, lest you think we don’t allow any photos of her.

This reminds me of friends who borrowed a baby for their Round Robin, and planted it on their 15 year old daughter. The news began with their son’s fictitious prison sentence, and went on from there. Happy Christmas to you and yours.

Ha-ha…I’ve actually received a few family letters this year that sound like that! Beautiful, happy family, my friend. Merry Christmas!

Same here. We have a friend whose family is wildly successful and somewhat obnoxious about it. I hope they read this.

I like “illustrious family”, nice poem, wish I’d been that creative when I still felt obliged to write individual letters to far-flung relatives 🙂
