The most WONderful Christmas letter I ever received (where every WONderful member of the family was engaged in WONderful activites) was followed the next year by a simple Christmas postcard: picture of mom, kids, no husband. That was her way of announcing the divorce.
Wow, that’s grim.
Wow......that is funny!
I have a relative who usually picks one of her kids to dump on in the Chritmas letter....she has learned NOT to send them to her own children. This year one of them got a divorce and there was a paragraph about the offending ex-SIL and his various sins. He is one bad boy. She makes no pretense of the perfect family...ya gotta love it.
