The Christmas Letter

It's the Christmas season. Time for that annual ritual of endurance, the Christmas Letter.

First, two non-serious looks at The Letter:

"Martha Stewart's Christmas Letter to Erma Bombeck." This (very funny) piece has been copied. A lot. From AOL ("Vittles on the Go part 8") to Angie's Realm "Christmas Jokes") and "Fun_People Archive - 9 Dec [1998] / Christmas is coming.......Erma Bombeck / Martha Stewart"

"Mom's Christmas Letter" This one is popular. It's shown up in quite a few places, from "Basic Jokes" ("Dear Darling Son (and That Person You Married)") to an old H u m o u r N e t post ("Dear Darling Son (and That Person You Married)" from Collage 322, H u m o u r N e t, 25 Dec 1996).

Second, a couple of serious-but-short looks at writing your Christmas letter:
