More on Christmas Card Letters In response to my request for Christmas car letter ideas Suzanne wrote:

I get a letter every year from my cousin, who is NASA's launch commander for the Space Shuttle missions. It used to be that no one could top that. I mean, every year, he's getting ready to send a shuttle off into space, yadda yadda yadda..Of course, his job's gotten very sad lately. Still, it's the kind of job no one can really top. So, I sympathize anyway. By the way, he also cursorily mentions his son, who has been in both rehab AND in jail. So at least he's fair and balanced?

Okay, now my suggestion:How about changing all your names and "implying" you had to join the Witness Protection Program. Make up a whole new life. Send them in a big box, already stamped, to a friend and have them mailed from another state? I'll do it! Ohio postmark!  ¶ 9/29/2005 12:55:00 PM
