"Well, the holiday season is here, and with it have come those family letters that many people send with their cards. You know what I'm talking about -- those photocopied one- or two-page descriptions of just what has been happening to the Smiths or the Joneses for the past year.
What bothers me about these dispatches from the family front is how absolutely great everything is in other people's lives, how precocious their children are, what terrific trips the whole family has taken, and how, while the renovations to the kitchen were pretty disruptive for a while, now it looks just great and "we just can't imagine how we got along in the old one."
