I've found that holiday newsletters I've received make for great entertainment when shared as dramatic readings during family gatherings. Sort of a fictional genre subset.

i should really go big or go home. given what i do for a living, who's going to fact-check me?

I get a little bummed when I get a holiday card with no update insert. How can I judge your life choices if you leave me no material? (Font choice is a decent back up)

But I think my cynicism is a cover up for the fact that I do actually like getting holiday updates and I think I'm the only person under 90 who is into it.

what's weird(er) is when you receive a holiday card from a friend who you didn't was the newsletter type AND THEY TALK ABOUT YOU IN THE LETTER. WTF.

I'm a holiday letter writer...will you still be my friend? Putting the 7th to bed this year, almost can't believe it.
