Anyone else dread the "Christmas Letter" from their friends/families?

After I read the first 2-3 ever sent to our house, I just toss them in the trash now now.

Oh man.

My In Laws all live in WNY.

So they sent one this year about how they came to visit us over Thanksgiving.

The opening lines were "After getting car sick on roads that were planned by a drunk..."

I threw it away.

I think it's really sweet, and I think Duane needs an enema.

Naw, I don't. Don't even send Christmas cards, I'm too lazy.
The one thing I do always find a bit odd is when I get a Christmas card that features a couple's dog or cat like it's their kid. Especially when it's all dressed up in Santa clothes with the pet's name underneath.
That one usually makes me groan.
