Dear Friends and Family,
This Christmas we are hoping that you will please forget us. Please, just for the holiday?
We have a serious accumulation of lovely items that we would love to get to one day. There are many books on the shelves that we have yet to read. There are socks and t-shirts overflowing from the bureaus. There are more throw pillows than Curt can hide!
Instead of purchasing us more useful, interesting and beautiful things, your gift can be a nicely timed bit of nothing.
If you should find this too great a challenge, think of something you can send us that is not freshly minted from somewhere else. You could use your inner-MacGyver to create a nose-hair barrette made from bendy straws, rubber bands and glitter. Curt could certainly use a compilation cd of your cat mewling in repeat for 45 minutes straight!
There is nothing that we can afford to give you that you actually want (new cars, mortgage paid off, kids college tuition, etc). So, if you insist on sending us stuff, be prepared to get crap in return. I mean it! Midian, Ernie & Clovis may be old, but they're still productive in some ways.
Thank you dearies! We love you and the holiday cards will be out soon,
Serena
