Reply #4: I like the ones that stop short of telling you what happened.

"Grandma is doing really well adjusting to her new bionic leg."

"Tommy thinks he may be paroled sometime in June."

"Dick's new job is working out pretty well and we have adjusted to the lower income."


Don't you want to hear the REST of the story???



We have one family member (a cousin) that sends those chatty letters every year, and it is always a thing of dread to even open them. IF you are lucky she stops short. Usually, she just lets it all hang out there with offerings like this:

"This last year saw _____ (the oldest son) starting a new high school. After he got caught with a knife in PE, we were very lucky to get him into this new private school in midterm."

We do a holiday Email to everyone we know--a recent photo of our daughter on Santa's lap. It has become a ritual for people to respond with comments, and it has become somewhat of a phenom, in that, people actually update their email address with us because they think it is so geeky and funny. Can't say I ever expect to do a "holiday letter" however.
