[quote=Anonymous]I love getting newsletters in the Christmas cards. I don't care if they sound braggy - I am happy that people have something they are proud to talk about! We have friends from overseas who we have not seen in 30 years, but every year we get a Christmas card letter. Their son, who was a toddler back then, is now married with small children, and I have delighted in "watching" him grow up via the photos and lengthy newsletter they send each year at Christmas time.

This year's letter was also on the back of our card. Though there were a few "braggable" moments this year, our year was very much colored by the covid epidemic and the loss of two close family members, which were mentioned in the letter, as well as those things we are thankful for - health, ability to still work, family time. No vacations, but kids were able to return to school, and one child has begun the college application game. I wish we DID have more good news to share, but this year's letter was definitely subdued, which I think most folks can understand.

Believe me, given the crappy year this has been with corona virus, if someone has something positive to put out there in their letter, I'd be happy to hear it![/quote]
