Someone talk me out of this

I had this idea in the shower today that since H and I have done so much stuff this year I would write one of those letters to put in Christmas cards, but I know people hate those things. In my defense, I would only add it to the cards of people who might actually care. But I know it's a bad idea and I still want to do it.

It's a bad idea, right?

I think nowadays with FB and such there's no need for those kind of updates. I remember once when I was little my mom got one in the mail from a lady we've only met a handful of times... I read it and was like WTF?? She included pictures and it just seemed like she was openly bragging. However, I'm sure no one would ever respond that way to you because I don't think you would send it to people you've only come across a handful of times LOL. If you think it's a fun way to keep in touch with good friends/family members who you haven't seen in a while then go for it. If they're all on FB and such then I don't see a need. Sorry, probably not much of a help....

DON'T DO IT!

We have cousins that do this, and they're so freaking BORING. My parents and I laugh about it every year (we're not close with the cousins, obviously). My mom and I have been joking for years about doing a totally fake one - saying ridiculous things, like my dad just got out of jail and I found a cure for some random disease that doesn't exist...but the real ones are super AW-y to me.

Really, is there anyone that doesn't know what you're up to? If so, shoot them an email or give them a quick (handwritten) note in a holiday card - make it a two-way conversation, KWIM?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Those letters say 2 things to me:

1) I'm a big AW

2) You don't mean enough to me to get a personal note

Ok thanks. I needed to hear that.

So... apparently I'm alone in this, but I love to get holiday letters from family members. We get them from two people each year, and I always enjoy reading them to see what's been going on. Last year I actually responded to a few things via facebook. I was thinking I might write one from us this year since we're our own family unit now. It's probably not a good idea if you're the only one in your extended family who does it, but the people who send them would probably appreciate receiving them.
