Anyone else hate the annual Christmas letter?

[perry]

I think the general idea was cute (in a weird way) but they went way over the top. That video was sickeningly cheesy

I believe I read the guy used to be on TV, and this was in the Youtube comments

Seem too good to be just a Christmas card? Well, you're partially right, it's also an ad for the family's video production company, Greenroom Communications.

That doesn't make it any less cheesy

I've never even heard of any "annual Christmas letter" before.Must be old school.

I think they are wonderful. The paper is usually top notch and softens up easily if you work it awhile with your hands.

You have to be careful with the glittery ones.

So how long do y'all keep your Christmas cards? Personally I like to check for cash, check the message and in the trash they go, my wife says we must keep them? So are they going to bloom or something???

"Right there with you, except that chatting up the neighbors part. You lost me with that."

Talking face to face, you know, like old fashion communication. Very few people take the time to have a meaningful conversation with their neighbors-- like Hank, Bill, Dale, and Boomhauer do.
I used to have a neighbor who I never saw except when he would come over to borrow a shovel, rake, etc. and a couple of days later I would go retrieve them out of his yard where he left them. But come Christmas, my wife and I would get one of those damn Christmas letters from them with the usual tripe like "THE wife has a new job greasing the poles at the Gentlemen's Club, Johnnie got has death penalty reduced to life w/o parole so now his wife is financially set for life. She had another immaculate birth last month (her third since Johnny's unfortunate incarceration 3 years ago). Our 16 y.o. Susie got knocked up by an illegal Mexican, so we now can take that vacation to Mexico we always wanted, blah, blah."

Best Christmas letter, EVER!

No worries, I just try to get into full hermit mode. I generally don't like people, and since I took on a job a few years ago where I have to talk to people (alot), I don't do it much when I don't have to, and that includes neighbors.

Can't say we ever got a Christmas letter. Just the usual cards, some with quick notes written in them.
