Photo Greetings

The card says Happy Holidays!
But in each family pose
We understand the message
Such a blitz of photos shows.

Our lives are so much better
Than the ones that you might lead.
Our kids are cuter and our home
Is fabulous, indeed.

Just look at where we’ve traveled -
Our vacations were the best!
Don’t think about the fun you’ve missed
Or it will get you stressed.

We hope your holiday is great
Although we’re sure you know,
Compared to ours it will be worse,
No matter where you go.

We have friends who send them out every year. Sometimes I wonder if they just use the same one year after year and just change a few names around.

Well said, Ilene! Those cutesy poo letters drive me up the wall. I wrote a poem about such letters (and I can't recall the title of it right off or I would cite it for you to look up) but in it I cited all the problems of the writer and all the negative things they experienced during the year!!!
