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!

Marci said...

ps. i am so glad you decided to write one this year! some of us can't whip out a letter that easily :(

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?

janet said...

not telling.

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!

Cute and cleaver christmas letter. One of the years I will break down and make myself write one too.
