Funny -- but I have folks that scream for mine and they are 3 pages long usually. I think because I don't take the standard approach to the year and instead do more humoristic approaches to the antics of the boys. I like them. I like getting them as well as long as they aren't too self involved as far as "little jimmy is brilliant and at 6 has learned to read, write and operate on small animals". I haven't written mine yet this year....but once I get started they usually are a great way for me to document when the family has been up to for posterity.
I also keep other's letters so if we have occasion to meet up and chat I can read the letter first and have an inkling of what they and their children have been doing. Makes for much better conversation after a year apart.
Okay ~ what does everyone think about those Family Christmas Letters? Hate 'em or love 'em? You know the ones the one page typed mass letter you get (maybe even create yourself) telling everyone everything you & your family have done for the year. I have some relatives who are requesting we start a tradition with family letters but I don't really like them. Maybe it's the ones we get from others that have skewed my point of view.
