Is it time to write that Christmas letter? A friend just emailed saying she dreaded writing that letter. It was always a challenge to relate the good news without sounding obnoxious. We have done Christmas letters in past years that seemed obnoxious even to me. Can’t help bragging a bit about the off spring. Maybe we could save time just filling in the blanks on this universal letter. Keep a copy on your computer and reuse it next year.
