Anyone else dread the "Christmas Letter" from their friends/families?

Luckily I don't receive those. My parents get emails and give me the highlights. My email is reserved for cigar updates and immediate family.

Depends on how you look at it, I suppose.

I liked hearing about how my niece and some of her college buddies designed and installed a water filtration system for a village in Kenya where previously the closest water was a daily 3 mile walk.

I liked hearing about my nephew who opted to join the combat engineers in order to gain perspective about the world outside of his hometown.

I liked hearing that my brother's job has finally agreed that he needs to spend 3-4 weeks each winter in Stadl in Austria. He's a great skier and I'm happy for him.

I assume that they like hearing about our vacations around the world, my international consulting business and our charity work as well.

Don't you feel better now that you've read this Xmas letter
