Uncle

I know you'll be sad,

But don't shed a tear.

I'm not sending

Holiday cards out this year.

The ones that we've gotten

Are all on display, 

So I'm glad that you all

Still decided to play.

I could tell a fib

And say, "We're just going green,"

But the truth is, in part,

Stamp prices? Obscene.

And if I'm being honest

A big factor, y'know...

Is that I let my membership

Expire with Costco.

But that hasn't stopped me

From bad poetry.

'Cause lucky for y'all

I can do that for free.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

See below for years when I had more motivation. I love the little story this anthology tells of our family.

(last year I sent out two versions, which seems downright comical to me now)

Note: 

In 2007, when Playette was just six months old, I was still a mess and barely interested in celebrating a holiday. So, in case you're one who's wondering...it does get so much better.
