This isn’t the first time you’ve made me laugh out loud while reading one of your blogs. Thank you! I needed that. Merry Christmas.

You provided some comic relief amid these sometimes not so fun pre-Christmas days crammed with shopping and cooking. I love that you can poke fun at your mom in such a nice way. Happy holidays from my house to yours.

This is just another example of why you should never, ever send out Christmas letters – and if you do, why you should never ask your husband to proof it. Merry Christmas…love your blog.

I’m surprised you didn’t have a heart attack right there on the spot. Then she would have had to share that news in next year’s newsletter.

Oy, Christmas letters are awesome! We get cards from my Grandmother-in-law (is that a thing?) and you can get Happy Birthday! and your uncle Marty died all in the same sentence. Brilliant.

Sigh! I forgot my name. The above comment was me. Now it all makes sense! Forget your name, say your husband is DEAD….just a momentary lapse…

Oh, that made me laugh so hard! I’m so glad to hear your Dad is not dead! I wonder how many people will check on him…even if they don’t admit it.

This is too funny. My grandparents do a similar newsletter every year…I would love to post it and point out all the hilarious things – the issue is that my Grandpa is all over the web and regularly reads and comments on my blog.

Came here via my friend Veronica Mitchell — and that indeed was a FUNNY Christmas newsletter. I normally hate Christmas newsletters but that’s because I don’t get any as “creative” as your mother’s.

Thanks for the morning smile! I came here from Toddled Dredge.

Mothers. They’re mostly alike.

That’s great…I was LOL here at 2am up all by myself. Reminds me of another Christmas letter in which one of my relatives bragged about how both of her sons were in a bar brawl…and wasn’t it sweet how they stand up for each other!
