No more calls please, we have a winner!
You, Terry, could have a serious side hustle if I hook you up with those members of my family who either send out "newsletters" with all the fun and frivoliy of a "morbidity and mortality report" OR go the other way and blow their own horn way too loud in The key of E....as in Ego!
You hit all the right notes and I harmonized with chuckles throughout...
Grab the Jack! I think you're going to be celebrating a win with this entry!
I Ho-Ho-HOPE so!

Comment from Shirley McLain
I loved your Christmas letter. If I had a six, it would be yours. You packed it full of such useful information. I especially identified with the pills you take. I only take 13 with an extra on Fridays. I've had every shot and booster they can think to give. You did a great job, and Merry Christmas. Shirley

Comment from Mary Shifman
I really enjoyed your Christmas letter (I rarely enjoy them. My father-in-law used to write ten double sided pages including every minute detail of their various activities in the previous year. They weren't fun or clever, just detailed and a little monotonous.) Yours gave me quite a few chuckles. If I could write one this humorous maybe I'd do one this year! Good luck in the contest.

Mary, thank you, I do try to look at the humor side of life, but then at my age...What is left? Thanks, Terry.

You are welcome. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Comment from Anne Johnston
I love it, Terry, and enjoyed reading it very much. I like your description of FS: "FS, as the locals refer to it, is a writer's forum where poets, short story writers, novelists, scriptwriters, and nonfiction writers present their written words to like-minded people for review and exchange of ideas about writing." And I am happy to say, I did not see any typos or grammatical errors in this, so no "red pencil".

Comment from Sarah Robin
I enjoyed your Christmas letter. Last night I went with my family to see the lights at Heritage Farmstead. When I came back, I saw your lights. They look good! I am off to New Orleans this week to celebrate the holidays. My next post may be Christmas in New Orleans. Merry Christmas. Sarah

Comment from Thomas Blanks
Dear Old Retired Guy,
Thank you for the mention in your letter of my reviews. Like you, FS is a hobby and an ego boost for me, as I know better than to expect a serious writing career. I am old, but not an old fool. :-) My wife says I spend too much time at my computer. LOL. Thank you for sharing.

Thomas, thank you for the review. I, spend too much time in front of my computer, and there are several widows in my condo building...Terry.
Comment from Sally Law
Terry, Merry Christmas to you too! I'm glad you had such a wonderful year and dodged Covid so well. I wish I could say the same.
This is a lot of fun as are you. I can imagine you sitting there in your leather chair and writing this with a glass of spiked eggnog. My dad was an alcoholic, and needless to say, he was a bit heavy handed wiith the JD when it came to the eggnog. Whew! No wonder he was out for a long winter's nap. Zzzzzzz's!!
It is my pleasure to read you and offer any improvements. You're doing great as far as I can tell. Mostly, you are very loved by all of us on FanStory.
Sending you my best today as always, and Christmas blessings rich and deep that last a lifetime.

Hi Terry,
to be honest, I'm only reviewing this for the ridiculous amount of money you promote your work for...
I remember you said to me earlier in the year, you were too old to learn things but then that's obviously not true given the testimonials you give out. lol Or maybe it was your practising of fiction-writing!
Either way, I don't buy it. An obviously intelligent man, who knows how to grease the wheels on a site like this, isn't interested in learning - give me a break!
Sitting at number 2 in the rankings is quite an achievement is no mean feat by any means, and you should be proud of that, Some great interviews and a few interesting pieces along the way. Writing output takes time and effort, no matter what an author professes!
All the best

Garth, Thank you for the review. I am just an old coot having fun, you are a serious writer, and good one! Merry Christmas. Terry.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Superb, although I saw an extraneous comma having to do with waxed wood floors.
Very well done. Hope you don't get any grief over the politics. lol
Best wishes.

Wayne, thank you for the six stars. I will check on that dang comma. I put them on the shelf and they just will not stay there. Thanks for reading. Terry.

Merry Christmas to you as well Terry. I found your Newsletter in my messages and I smiled thru it mostly and laughed some and totally enjoyed the whole of it. We are very fortunate to have a place such as this to fill our dwindling days with diversion and good companionship. Well done and I hope you have a happy 2023. Nancy:)
