This year has been unique in its collective misery, and that could make writing the annual holiday newsletter a bit challenging.
We know devoted newsletter writers will be stymied on how to compose those normally cheery and positive missives, so we've decided to give you a little help with our MadLibs-style holiday newsletter. You can go joyful, or you can go full 2020.
Dear (Family, Friends, Fellow Survivors): Another year has (a. sped by b. limped along c. swallowed us in unimaginable horror) and we wanted to (a. share b. sound off c. weep uncontrollably at) the news of how our (a. family b. neighborhood c. band of apocalyptic survivors) has been doing.
The year started off (a. great b. as usual c. in the blissful ignorance of not knowing what the rest of the year would bring). It promised such (a. adventure b. love c. opportunities to work dozens of jigsaw puzzles again and again, until the images wore off, and we were left to assemble solid white pieces). Our early 2020 vacation to (a. Europe b. visit the family c. the backyard) was fantastic and (a. provided us with great memories b. allowed the kids to collect an excellent assortment of souvenirs c. was the last time we'd see anyone without a mask for months).
March brought devastating news that the coronavirus had crept into our country and that we were now in the middle of a pandemic. We faced the news with the spirit of the pioneers who settled our country and (a. gracefully accepted things were changing and we would need to hunker down b. decided to clean out the attic and reorganize every closet in our home, then dust all the rocks in our garden c. went a little crazy purchasing 275 packs of toilet paper, 500 gallons of hand sanitizer and getting banned for life from Costco).
As this long year comes to an end, we wish you and yours (a. a bright holiday season b. a new year that isn't quite as dark c. good luck with whatever new disaster awaits us in 2021.)
