The horror of "round robin" Christmas letters
posted at 8:44 AM

Yahoo! has a funny story today about those Christmas letters you get from friends and relatives chronicling the past year. I'm of two minds about the practice--on the one hand, it's nice to know what everyone's up to, but on the other, as the article points out, they often seem like gloatfests. I sent a small letter with my Christmas cards last year...I'm not sure I'm going to do anything of the kind this year, simply because I'm so disorganized. I haven't even bought cards yet (doing that today, hopefully).

What do you think of these "round robin" letters, readers? Have you ever gotten one? Have you ever written one?

For the most part, I like them if they're well done and if they're of people I don't get to see often. If I had the time I'd probably make them for out of town friends, but I'd feel silly sending it to someone I see every month.

I wouldn't mind getting one of those if I don't see the person often, especially friends who are in another country, like you and the others on the AMRN. I've bought my cards, but I haven't had time to go to the post office. x_x Bleh.
