The Christmas letters have started arriving!

Fabulous 😂😂😂😂

I really shouldn't have sat down with a to read your OP Rosies because I nearly choked while laughing .

🤣🤣🤣

well worth £5.. you nailed it...

That's brilliant 😂😂

Had a good laugh 🤣

Brilliant! I get one from a cousin every year and this year, she mentioned that her husband had just retired. So later that evening, I thought I'd google his retirement and see if I could find the newspaper article she'd mentioned in the letter. Well, let's just say my google search revealed a major skeleton in the closet she didn't mention in the letter!

One year the writer’s GS had ‘gained employment at a local hostelry as a trainee bar manager’.

“Oh, he works in a pub then” said DH.

Brilliant! 👏👏🎄

We used to get just two.
One was just lovely, honest down to earth facts about AC , GC and new arrivals. No boasting no embellishments just family news.
The other however was such a laugh, both into local politics, you would have guessed just a step away from the Cabinet Office.
On the police committee, JP , chairmen of almost everything.
Avid attenders of Party conferences and hobnobbing with everyone.
Cruises were commented on in detail.
My H used to keep them all in a file, I think he read them when he wanted a chuckle.

That is fantastic Maw.
It wasn't very realistic though - all the letters we get are all about the amazing exploits they have been up to and how wonderfully the AC are doing!
We got one one year telling us that Sally had died and how sad they were. I couldn't think who Sally was until at the end of the letter they mentioned it was the dog!!

Just what I needed this morning, Maw! . You didn’t tell us about your new XL Bully dog fur baby, though! 🐶

In current parlance, Wicked!
Had to go back and read it twice.

Well Maw I wouldn’t worry too much about Darryl, he prolly had conjugating rights, so unless he has one of them pattern nitty tests his missis should keep schtum.

Good choice on earning more as a nail technician, be less stressful plus your clients will love you.
So relieved Maw, to read your family is just like ours x

If I still sent cards think I’d be tempted to copy your letter & send it on! Ha ha!
(We usually receive at least 2 ‘ bragging type ‘ news letters).

Oh, I'd choose Nuclear Physics, no contest. Build my own warhead, so I'll be protected when the rest of the world goes kablooey. As long as I unleash mine before they unleash theirs, what can possibly go wrong?

Brilliant RosiesMaw2 I have been so tempted to send something like that myself.
We have one acquaintance who sends the details of all the good works she has done for the community over the last year but never asks how we are.

Great Stuff, Maw . I groaned when my first card plopped on the mat this year.

It was from DH’s cousin, his wife writes them and as usual it was a long list of ailment's, marriage break ups and other disasters that have befallen them this year.

Two words were missing…one was Christmas and the other was Happy!

For the second year running my late husband’s cousin sent a newsy letter about all sorts of unrelated people, with not a mention of him, even the year he died. She is no longer getting a card from me.

😃 😀 😃
You have a very interesting entrepreneurial family there. No holding back!
I've never sent one of those letters, and only receive one or two.
