i, as i'm sure you do too, get a lot of family christmas letters. most of them are fun to receive because my friends summarize the notable events of their year, good and bad, and i like to see what they are up to. however, some of the letters i get come from mrs. perfect mcwonderful and her husband, zeus, and their family of poop-free angels. these letters are also fun to get because it's nice to see that some people wake up to rainbows every morning and their house is made of calorie-free chocolate and their children never throw their expensive phone into the toilet. you know, so i know what i am aspiring to.
i don't send out christmas cards (because i'm cheap and don't have adorable children to take pictures of and really, who wants a christmas card with a picture of just me? talk about creepy.) but to my four faithful readers, i am giving you my first ever family christmas letter with love from me, complete with a run-down of my year.
