Ahhh, the dreaded Christmas Letter. A couple of good friends who I think the world of send these letters out. They inevitably make my eyes rolls and my stomach start to hurl. While I don't begrudge these women their supposed perfect lives, I want to say, "Come on, is everything in your life really that rosy???" It's healthy to focus on the good things but a bit unrealistic to think one's life is all about promotions, trips to Hawaii, and your child's straight A's.
I laugh to myself when I think about what my own Christmas Letter would be for the past year. If, of course, I was being realistic.
Let's see. My year started with having my husband arrested for domestic violence.
