[quote=Anonymous]Some I skim. A good friend writes a terrific witty letter and adds a personal note separately about the harder stuff (some serious medical problems the last couple of years, for example).

First xmas letter we ever received when I was growing up was from my aunt and uncle--he was a lobbyist and commandeered office resources to send a 2 page NEWSPAPER. On newsprint, with headlines. We sneered privately.

Side note: my mom's family has had a round robin letter going for[i] 65 years[/i], started at the end of WWII with the siblings and cousins scattered like they never were before, with their parents (grandma and her sisters married 2 brothers and the brothers' cousin so the family connections were particularly tight). It will end at some point with my generation, there are just 3 people left from my mom's generation and it's probably carried on mostly for them. I often wish people have saved their letters all those years (you take your last letter out when it comes and put in your new one, and the packet includes photos, newspaper clipping, wedding and funeral announcements/programs)[/quote]
