Christmas Letter 2006

Just like in previous years (2004, 2005), it's time for me to be a cheapskate again.

In a few days I'll be sending out Christmas cards to family and friends around the world. Rather than write a long letter to go with it, I now simply include a URL pointer to this post, and everybody can get to read all the family related links below (in some cases, with help from their children or their children's children).

For everybody else, feel free to ignore this entry.

Here they are in chronological order (latest first). One thing is clear. I've blogged a lot less about family this year than last year.

Happy Holidays! Your Christmas cards will be in the mail early next week.

As far as Christmas newsletters, I think it entirely depends... they can be a fantastic way to stay in touch if written in a MODEST and ENTERTAINING manner.... HOWEVER, Waaaay too many holiday newsletters are far too conceited, boring and outright arrogant. I have a website that has some funny examples (both real and fiction) of holiday newsletters gone wrong: http://www.funnyholidayletters.com Please email me any funny examples you have with personally identifiable information blacked out (bryan@funnyholidayletters.com)

Hey Rich, We gave up Xmas letters and cards too. Way to easy to talk about the weather and convey nothing of consequence. I enjoy reading your blog. Long time no see - drop by when you are next in Seattle. cheers - AndrewN PS. the math question really bothers me - it's so simple I'm sure I'll get it wrong.

Hi Andrew. Thanks! The same goes if you both are down here. I believe I still owe you 2-3 months room and board!
