Christmas Letters

By Jenster | December 1, 2009 |

I’ve been working on my annual sporadic Christmas letter. There’s a fine line between sharing the banner moments and bragging. Of course some of that is due to the perceptions of the reader, but sometimes those yearly letters are blatantly pompous. In an effort to keep mine as humble as I can I thought I’d share what I’ve written with you, my very good and honest friends, for your opinions before I send it out.

Dear Friends and Family,

How are you? I am perfect. My children are perfect. My husband is perfect. My marriage is perfect. My dog is perfect. My bank account is perfect. My home is Better Homes and Garden perfect.

My clothes are perfect. My hair is perfect. My weather is always perfect. My singing is perfect. My temperament is perfect. My parenting is perfect. My life is perfect.

May your 2010 be half as perfect as my 2009.

With all the love in my perfect heart,
Jenster


So what do you think?

    I think it's perfect.I'm struggling with my annual letter this year. It's hard to fit in a year's worth of info into one page!

    Love it. But I'm feeling really inferior to Your Highness. (Snort! Giggle!)

    oh, Jen, you have perfectly described my dilemma. If my grandkids weren't so perfectly adorable, I might have to give up the letters all together. LOL!!

    LOL!!! This is great, Jenster!!! My girlfriend's husband calls these "brag letters". You, and he, are both spot on. And yet, I keep sending them out!!! 🙂
