[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am probably in the majority who love getting these updates in holiday cards instead of just a picture. So go ahead and do it! But - keep it to 4 [b]sentences[/b], not paragraphs. "This has been a tough and challenging year for everyone but I hope our card finds you in good health. On our end, spouse and I both changed jobs and enjoyed getting to spend more time together working from home. Also, we got a puppy! He's adorable but a handful. Hope to see you in 2021."

Lighthearted but "normal" will probably do as much or more to dispel the rumors than a rambling narrative, not that there's probably anything much you can really do. (Any long narrative will be perceived as "rambling" even if you're a good writer.)[/quote]

If the writing is good, it can be longer than four sentences.

One reason letters suck is because people don’t know how to talk about themselves in an interesting way.

People like our letters.

We write 1-2 pages and not four sentences.

I’ve received bad letters and can see why people suggest keeping them short.
