Christmas “News” letters

1summer 😂

I feel left out. I have never recieved or sent a round robin Christmas card. From what I have read here I here I hope I never do.

@ Isummer - that says it all!

Note to self - I must remember ‘less is more’ when posting on the GM thread and soops Dickens!

I do tend to witter on a bit ... 😁😁😁

It was before social media, Gagajo.

I much prefer to have a letter( personalised preferably) than merely a card with a signature. If that is all I hear, year after year, I feel there isn’t much point.
I get about ten Round Robins each year, mostly on email now, and they are all interesting and relevant. There is no boasting, quite a few disasters. The only one I hate starts Dear ( blank).

More or less that, maybe 8? I write a short basic letter online then vary each one as appropriate plus some pix.

Friends plus one family member am fond of but lives in NI.

I care about them and want to know what's happening but they are honest joys and sorrows.

1summer you win first prize!! Wonderful 😂

... not at all Urms!

We all 'witter' on GN - usually about a specific issue which someone has raised, and that's a different thing altogether - we're kind of comparing notes about something that interests us.

Witter away!

You should have invited yourself to go and stay in those people’s holiday home in Cyprus, 1summer! I’d loved to have seen their faces when strangers turned up.

We have friends dotted all round the UK and abroad so some years I do a RR letter. I used to get quite a few, too. There were two stand-outs each year, one from someone whose family always had a whole host of astonishing diseases to complain about and someone else who thought that everyone would be interested in the nano-seconds shaved off their marathon running times and the minutiae of the husband’s competitive sea-fishing hobby. I quite miss getting those letters now!

1summer 😅😅

We don't send any but receive one from a cousin we don't see or hear from often. We get on very well and maybe speak once or twice a year. Have to say though not a Hermione in sight, no conservatory building or house decorating, just general information about what the various family members have been up to including a few funnies and some future plans. Always nice to see future plans from somebody recovering from lung cancer.
