Merry Mail

I just received a Christmas letter.  I have to wonder if they're going the way of the dodo, with Facebook and so many other ways to spread news about yourself and your family.  Maybe it's just as well.

I'm not offended by Christmas letters, but I've never been a big fan, either.  They're so depersonalized.  I suppose it's nice that friends want to keep you in the loop, but it's essentially saying you're not important enough to get anything specifically for you. Yes, I know people are busy, but a general mailer sometimes feels like it might as well be addressed to occupant.
