otoh, you're apparently very close to the tables.
My 'heh' outweighs my <groan>.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I've decided to write a Christmas letter this year. Not sure why. LJ distro only, most probably, because I'm larking. However, I've never actually read one. What goes into one?
Achievements, life changes, looking forward, that sort of thing. Sound a lot like annual reports from corporations if you've read those.
"This year I managed to get hit in the face a total of three times, which is a 65% decline from last year. Losses of consciousness are unfortunately up, however."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There is no fucking way I'm going to be able to explain spitting the diluted Gatorade on the monitor, so I'm not even going to try.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My parents sent one out last spring (they're slow) that didn't mention me at all. They got emails wondering if I had been disowned or something.

Bonus points if you use cutesypoo nicknames for people!

Oh, and to actually address ita's question of what goes in, it mostly talked about family weddings, politics, and sports. And the various intersections thereof. And some personal news.

If you want to go that route, I'm sure Clovis would be more than happy to ghost-write it for you.

Most of the letters members of my family have done are actually quite fun to read. I do have one cousin who is a little self-congratulatory, but she's got a cute kid, so I get over it.
Today is dragging and I've done virtually no work.

If you have kids, you have to brag about them A LOT. If they are ugly or not on the honor roll, don't mention them.
Question: why don't more web sites where you can buy stuff have Wish List features? I loves me some Amazon wish list (even if nobody ever buys me anything from it). I want my LL bean wish list, damn it!
