Christmas Cards
Sometimes people include the strangest things with their holiday greetings.

One genealogist I barely knew (we had relatives in common about 300 years ago) discussed the previous year: "A challenging year, particularly in regards to my wife's affair."

My sister discussed her husband's health in the cheery opening lines of her holiday card. No "Merry Christmas", or any of that other rot. Instead: "It was a hard year, with slow healing from the blood clot in hubbie's leg."

But it's all better than the funeral home postcards I used to receive during the holidays, telling me that NOW is the time to reserve a cemetery plot!

I didn't know about the xmas card thing until a friend mentioned doing it.
Our family swap news by the method of meeting now and again at weddings, christenings, funerals and the like then getting pissed and passing on gossip. I like to think ours is the "normal" family.
