A funny satirical newsletter. Your letter is creative and clever. With all the "misery," you managed to tell it upbeat and joyful for the coming year even if it is on skid row!
Best wishes and Merry Christmas.

Glad you got it! I thought I?d would do better in this contest, but usually most people ?miss? on my sense of humor. Good times!!!
Comment from Wendy G
Lol. It was very humorous, and I really enjoyed it, with your wit and insight, and for your "confession" of all your FS accounts! Someone told me some people really do this. Not you, I know you wouldn't have more than one!
It has the same tone as my poem "I don't NEED to", where I was having a go at people who pay big bucks for reviews, and those who must win at any price. And of course many reviewers thought that was really me. Lol.
Happy to review yours for two cents. Well done. Best wishes. It's got a good chance!

Thank you my friend. I appreciate the great review and stars. I took the liberty to have a little fun with this contest.
Comment from Susan Newell
Douglas,
You made me laugh all the way through. This is one of the funniest things I've read for a long time. Satire is so effective when done well. Besides that, you inoculated yourself against SPAG alerts by writing completely in character. What does a banker know about lie and lay? Kudos for a hilarious Christmas letter.

This was an absolute hoot! Too funny and written with such an optimistic voice. Nothing could get this narrator down. Not even the prospect of living on skid row.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
50% genius and 50% idiot? Which of these two are you underestimating. Whom am I, a brother-in-arms, to say, a fellow who as a boy before becoming a man thought the world revolved around him. Hey. For two cents, you expect a compliment? Still, I enjoyed the humerous in it.

That question is for you, the reader, to decide! Besides I don?t wrestle bears when I?m spanking monkeys on the butt!!

Do we jest or are we jousting? I often am mistaken for words I speak when what was spoken was uttered with No ill intent intended. :-O
-
We ate jesting. I loved your review. It was funny and well received. Although I have always wanted to try the joust.
My last line was to keep up my image as a mad genius!
All good. Carry on!

I couldn't say a more nicer hello to a better darn family!
Did you forget to mention the long line of serial killing on Helen's side?
Or the fact that good old Rodger?
Yes, gets a kick out of occasionally raping beautiful blondes fresh out of high school?
Or that their pet "Skippy" just loves to crap all over the place because everybody's to lazy to walk the dog?
...

Comment from Jay Squires
I can understand your continual laughter while writing this, Douglas (or Ralph). You should be lucky to get off being only crazy like your family says what with their contribution to it. But it sounds like you have all the makings for a Happy Holiday season. Good luck with the contest. Tom has a short memory.
