I'm just so sick of those Christmas letters touting the family trip to Fiji, the kids being awarded Nobel prizes, and all about the trip across the country in the million-dollar motor home.
A few miles from me, there is a run-down single-wide with trash and abandoned cars scattered all around. Pigs and chickens running free. I am really temped to take a picture and send out photo cards with it. Then add something like, "Pa is out of jail now and has finished fixing up the house. Ma can walk again, so she helps with the garden when she's sober..."

I know just what you mean. When I see one in my mailbox, I drop it in the trash wihithout reading it. I don't understand how people equate Christmas with time for self-aggrandizement.
