Monday Teeny Poll
By Glinda
Seriously, where has all the time gone? It seems like just last week I gave birth to my daughter, and now she can hold her head up on her own and smile at everyone.
Last week I wanted to know how you felt about reruns, and forty seven percent of you said that only certain things make the cut of acceptable things for you to watch more than once. Forty percent said that reruns don’t bother them in the least, and only a measly one percent loathe reruns. It seems my mom is definitely in the minority, which is kind of what I thought.
As for today, the deluge of Christmas cards has begun. It began with a trickle last week, and is turning into a full-fledged flood this week. But my question has more to do with those (in)famous newsletters…

I love them. I love getting news about my friends. I couldn’t care less about a card. Don’t send the card, but send me a letter. I want to know what’s going on.

I love getting the letters and pictures from friends and family every year.
Thankfully we only have one family that writes a braggy letter every year. But we know it’s coming and so we read it, and roll our eyes, and are happy for them.
The rest of the letters and pictures are a joy to read!
I agree with the above poster, though, I don’t like cards with just a signature. Add a letter or a picture. Or some news. Something!

I’m not fond of the letters. They tend to leave out the truth and just tell me the good stuff. I like the good stuff, but for people I really know and care about, I’d prefer to hear the whole story, and know what’s new in your life, bad and good.

95% of the letters we get are badly written and just plain boring!

Phyllis, I can assure you I am in the 5%. This is the first line of my letter this year: “Flesh-eating Beasts Invade Home, Terrorize Couple.”

This year we received a card that included the children’s grades. WTF
