Merry Xmas/Winter Solstice/Kwanzaa/Hannukkah/whatever

Starting four years ago and each year since then, I've been including a "newsletter" with my annual Christmas card. The newsletter was first created in response to all the nonsensical newsletters we receive each year ... by nonsensical I mean newsletters filled with "who cares" stories about people I don't know. These newsletters were filled with such trivial matters it was laughable. Not all newsletters we received were full of crap - just some of them. Regardless, we still got them and I needed to take a stand.



Anyways, my "newsletter" was filled with half-truths and outlandish lies and completely worthless information (e.g. advice on how to grow a paw paw tree). I meant for it to be a one-time , never-to-return publication. Well, two things happened after I sent out that first newsletters four years ago: i) the response from most people seemed to be rather positive and, more importantly, ii) we continued to get those nonsensical newsletters. So, until we stop getting the nonsensical and worthless newsletters, I'll continue to produce the annual newsletter.



The reason for this blog entry is simply because I accidentally kept a reference of this blog in this year's newsletter and realized that people might actually come to this blog, looking for something of value and I don't like to disappoint so here you go.

If you like, dislike, could not care less, etc., (about) the annual newsletter, let me know by leaving a comment or emailing me.
