I liked: fiirst ever newsletter (me 46 you 1 - conclusion you do not progress as you write more), still alive (you 1 me 0 - friends and relatives like to hear this, I think I hid my failure well), health (you win hands down, you are much more concientious than me. You are my 5th reminder I really should have taken care of my latest Covid booster), FS (1 all, different perceptions on who's useful and/or active are allowed). Fun letter. Kate xx

Very effective tongue-in-cheek letter. Most families have someone who insists on covering their often boring lives with a blow by blow account as if they were re-writing 'War and Peace'. This is an much more amusing version than usual and enjoyable to read!

You are so funny!! I know Lee will love this piece, too. I learned a lot from him, especially dialect. I had to laugh at the amount of shots you had, and I asked my hubby how many I had, he said I beat you with my vodka! Lol. I'll have to keep an eye on it. No I won't. I'm your age, and we are allowed to overdo things now! Lol. I really enjoyed this. Well done, Terry. :)) Sandra xxx

This is a great letter, Terry, and one I wouldn't mind receiving and reading every year. I've received Christmas card newsletters from the family in the past that I had to read face in the toilet. If only they had added a bit of humor and shut off the robotics, I may have gotten through the second paragraph. Anyway, DE-lightful, my friend! I wish I had a six! Best, JohnC

This is an awesome Christmas letter, Terry. I think I can match you pill for pill, vitamins included, but no way can I match you shot for shot, of Gentleman Jack Daniels, that is. Though I do like his barbecue sauce, after all, what is a Texan who doesn't eat barbecue?

Congratulations on your longevity, and here's hoping you have the nicest Christmas!

    Sol, thank you for the six stars and your kind review, BBQ is good but remember it is Tamales for Christmas Eve! Terry

    Oh, how I wish! There is a place called Delia's over there. I ordered once but they charge an arm and a leg for shipping. I tried to make them last year, but the dough would not float! Maybe I will try again this year. But I sure do miss my mother's tamales.

Thank you for sharing this Christmas letter with us. I found it humorous and was sure it was for the contest, but I see it isn't too bad. I've read some for this contest and this would've been a contender.
