The Meaning of Christmas...

Every year Hillsy and I have a tradition of sending a note along with our Christmas Cards. The idea of the note, comes from my own personal obsession with the end-of-the-year update letters. I'm sure you have one in your family... the person who insists on sending you a very long end-of-the-year update... little susy is now in 4th grade, currently at a 10th grade reading level, top of her class and is playing the tuba in her spare time with the North Carolina All-State Band...

I've always found these letters hilarious so I wanted to start a tradition of sending the "anti" version. A parody.

Last year's went off without a glitch but this year I managed to offend some family members. I've apologized but I'm personally hurt that my own family didn't know me (us) well enough. I was pretty upset about the whole thing yesterday but I refuse to allow it to ruin the rest of my week. This was meant to be funny and light-hearted, we poked fun of everything including our own lives....

Here's the note in full, if any of you feel that you may get offended please stop reading now!!

See you all next year!!!!
