Suzanne Magaziner, she of the broomed OUI case, surely sends out an annual Christmas - excuse me, ‘holiday’ - letter every year. It’s such a Beautiful Person thing to do. Imagine how this year’s edition might begin. Not for Mrs. Ira Magaziner the traditional cliche about how the year has “flown by” or “Where does the time go?” No, I see her employing yet another tired but slightly literary cliche: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Our hero, Deval, prevailed. But I, a graduate of Harvard Law School, was pulled over after a mere...

I love reading Christmas newsletters in which the writer bursts the bonds of modesty and comes forth with one gilt-edged paragraph after another: ``Tara was top scorer on the Lady Cougars soccer team and won the lead role in the college production of `Antigone,' which by the way they are performing in the original Greek. Her essay on chaos theory as an investment strategy will be in the next issue of Fortune magazine, the same week she'll appear as a model in Vogue. How she does what she does and still makes Phi Beta Kappa is a wonderment to us...

Merry Christmas. If that offends you, why should I care? It’s your problem, not mine. Let me explain your problem a little more fully. America is a Christian country. It’s your job to deal with that, because you’re not going to change this fact. America has always been a Christian country, and – open wide now, because you’re going to have to swallow this – it will continue to be. It will continue to be because most Americans aren’t Euroweenies. They haven’t lost the moral courage to be proud of their country and their civilization. Notice the “most” – which...

Dear Friends and Family, Gosh, it's hard to believe another year has come and almost gone! Where does the time go? It seems like only yesterday Dad was writing to you from this address and the twins were scampering around on the carpet in Texas. They grow up so fast! Jenna is going to be teaching at one of the public schools here in the District. Barbara still hasn't decided what she wants to do. We haven't had "the talk" with them yet, and I think they still want to live at home — the cafeteria, the linen service, it's...

OSBORNE FAMILY, PO BOX 38267, TALLAHASSEE, FL ORIDA 32315-8267 CHRISTMAS 2004 Well, another year has come and gone! Is it me, or is that happening way to quickly! We have had a great year this year. There is a lot to share. David went “on the road” this year. He really has been patient, and waited to be hand picked by the Sheriff to do this. We have heard this was a long process, and that most don’t make it, even after being picked. What is “on the road”? Well, David got hired with the Sheriff’s Office when there was...

I don't think I ever get through a season without a couple of those Christmas letters. You know the ones. They really started coming with the computer revolution. Very easy to print out fifty letters as opposed to typing one. Most people send a card with a picture of their children. We hang them on our French doors. Most of these people we see maybe once a year but that's all right because a Yuletide card lets us know that we are still with each other in spirit. We wish each other the best, a merry Christmas, a happy new...
