Busy Busy Blue....

I had a very difficult time composing this year's Christmas letter that gets inserted into the cards of the Holiday season this year. I even had a hard time exerting the energy to get out the holiday cards in time for the mail.

Cards from others filter in each day...surprises from the postman.
Inside are cute pictures of kids, pets, and families. Others contain that long drawn out letter that brags never ending about the events of that familys year.

Wouldn't it be funny to send a depressing Christmas card...something that totally shocked each person that opened it.

Hello friends,
Or should I even call you that since we have not seen you all year? I know you haven't stopped by, cuz I've been sitting at home each and every day...waiting for someone to visit.
It hasn't been easy this year, with "Johnny" just returning home from the juvenille detention center. It seemed like he was doing well until last week when he killed the cat. I guess we will have to spend the remainder of our unemployment checks on more treatment for him. Don't worry now, "Bob's job has promised to hire him back once he proves that he is straight and sober. It is just his heroine addiction I am concerned about right now. Spending these last few months stuck in the house without a job has brought back some of his anger issues as well, but now that "Johnny" is back, the two of them can fight it out...as long as they don't break any of my familiy heirlooms. You did hear that I received all of my mom's precious glassware after she passed away this year, didn't you?
Little "Susie" is the strong one in the family. She seems to be able to ignore all of the problems around here. She just locks herself up in her room after school each day, working on her computer all night. There are times she doesn't even come down for dinner. She is so very thin, but can fit into an attractive waredrobe. She has received some very nice clothes from a new "friend" she has met on the internet. They plan to meet over the Christmas break...I'm sure he is a very nice person. She spent the summer with her boyfriend and his skateboarding buddies...came home with some cute tatoos and body piercings as well. She has such good judgement.
I am doing very well. "Bob" never found out about the affair that I had this spring. Lucky for me, the terrible car accident I was involved in caused such awful facial scars that the boyfriend won't be back around to spill the beans of the secret relationship.

Hope all is well with you and your family.
Be sure to stop by this year...OK?

Hmmmmmmm......
WOuldn't you just love to do this?
