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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Trust my rage
Or if you pretend it was written by a pet

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!

A cousin of my mother used to write xmas letters that we'd look forward to every year for the comic effect. She used the word "perfect" a lot when describing what was going on with her family. One of her daughters even had a "perfect divorce."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have no idea why I just decided to write an Xmas letter. I have no SO, no kids, no pet. No new job...okay, no I have one of those, no life, not much of much. Ah, well.
Bon -- did you see? Ted C has written more about Toothy Tile! And there's going to be a movie called Cockblockers. I'm more than a little disappointed that a Wilson isn't in it.

Poor Jesse! I thinks you're pretty, even if your parents don't.
Ah well, you're sure to get a mention this year, what with the tv appearance and the hanging out with Warren Buffet.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Bon -- did you see? Ted C has written more about Toothy Tile!
It's getting ridiculous. Since he disclaims 3 new random guys each time in addition to printing letters that have wrong guesses about Toothy Tile...soon it will be statistically impossible for it to be anyone else.
But still. Kind of amazing how utterly open it is now.
