And the letter:

    You are hilarious! I love your Christmas card! When I saw that it was two pages, I thought, "Oh man!" But it kept me intrigued and laughing the whole time. Good for you for getting them out.

    I didn't bother this year. Maybe I'll put one on my blog, but it will be a blatant copy of yours.

    Merry Christmas!

    several things got me to chuckle, but I laughed out loud at two parts: like father, like son AND living in a van down by the river.

    LOL! the picture is really so cute! Merry Christmas!

    two pages of paragraphs is way too long, especially when people say boring stuff. but this was not too long and no where near boring. you guys had a crazy year! hopefully things will settle down when Zach turns three!

    entertaining even after the second (and third and fourth time) reading it. You have a way with word, Jan.

    how many did you send out?

    I had to take out a loan to pay for stamps.

    What a hoot. I don't have children so I don't write a letter. I figure what's the point...however, after reading your letter, I'm sure that I could come up with one thing from each month.

    Living in a van...got it, laughed, and asked my husband to recreate the scene for me (he loves to do that!) Thanks for the laugh!

    Theo the Dolphin trainer - I about died with laughter. Hysterical.

    Have a wonderful New Year!
