I am currently working on my (hopefully) last customer Xmas letter/card. I actually put more time into them than what I'm paid for. It's important to them, I guess.

But...

Holy cow...

Some of them are DEPRESSING!!! One from earlier went on for two paragraphs discussing her husband's gall bladder surgery and her unknown medical illness. How it's 'ruined Xmas' for them (a pleasant, very wealthy, very religious, very RW couple). 'Ruined' to them meant they weren't going to be able to take that trip to some Mexican town that I've forgotten how to spell. Seriously, I guess I feel a little bad for them. The whole family is going and they were looking forward to it. Yes, I can have sympathy for anyone. It's a personality flaw.

I only send cards to my brother and sister.
