opinion on the "holiday letter"?

I know most people find them very cheesy, but I actually enjoy reading other peoples' letters, and I was thinking that now that the baby is here I would write one and let all the faraway friends and relatives know how she's doing.(plus, I can only contain the compulsion to write for so long..)

Do any of you ladies write one?

Are letters --no matter how well written or interesting-- simply doomed to be awful?

Re: opinion on the "holiday letter"?

  • I think they are great, but only for close friends and family. My dad gets one every year from some he worked with a few times, and we have no idea who all the people in the photos are, so it's a bit odd. But I'd love to get one from good friends and family.
  • I always enjoy them.
  • I heart the one my Mom gets from the dysfunctional family we know that pretends everything is peachy in the letter. For example, "R has decided to persue the art of cooking...." aka: She works at Inn & Out.

    When R was going through her Meth addiction, she was "away, traveling after High School".

    ahahaha...I know, I know...I shouldn't laugh but still....I love it. And I look forward to their card every damn year!

  • I love reading holiday letters and looking at the pictures.

  • I think Holiday letters are great. I did it last year and plan to do it again this year for those family and friends that we hardly get to see or keep in touch with through the blogs or emails or facebook. :)
  • I really enjoy reading them.

  • i would never write/send one of these, but i can't lie - i enjoy reading them.

  • I thought about writing one the year too, but the only people who [i think]would be interested in reading it are those who are in our life on a regular basis. The last thing they need is an update on things they already know. That being said, I'm sort of ambivalent about receiving them - sometimes they can be very interesting-I wish I received one like LIsa's mom! 

    I'm a fan of sending the picture holiday cards with a short personal note on the back(or inside) .

    And btw: I pink puffy heart wan-nabe
