This is a collection of the best brags - the most egregious, if you want an eight-dollar word - that real people have received in real Christmas letters. It's for lines that jump out at you, and for people who want to cut to the chase, without reading a whole bad example. If you'd like to contribute (I have room for another 40 lines), use the e-mail link at the bottom of the navigation bar on your left. You are on your honor not to make up your contribution. Include an explanation, if necessary. Our daughter no longer colors, she designs . . . Our high school won the State Football Championship this year . . . Our son was invited to send a biography to "Who's Who in American High
School Students" . . . I'm going to learn ancient Greek next year, so I can see if the Bible
was translated properly . . . Our daughter has mastered French. She isn't interested in Spanish and the
school doesn't offer Russian, so she's taking Mandarin Chinese . . . |
This is one page of over two dozen devoted to Christmas news letters. The main Christmas News Letters page has links to more examples, plus some general guidelines and specific suggestions for writing Christmas news letters. If you have an example, either good or bad, that you'd like to share with the rest of the world, send it to me and I'll add it to these pages.

This is the church I attend:
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Stanislaus County
It's a denomination many people have never heard of. Most of us
believe different religions are different paths up the same
mountain. We welcome black and white, Hispanic and Hmong. That's
almost universal for churches. We welcome gays and lesbians, too;
that is a little less standard. We welcome people with different
ideas about the nature of God. That usually confuses
people in normal churches. We have Agnostics, Atheists and
Deists. We have people who were (or are) Buddhists or Wiccans.
We have people who started out Jewish, Catholic or Protestant.
We manage to meet under the same roof every week to explore
spiritual questions.
