For years I've been tempted to write a family letter that goes something like this:
Well, we're happy to announce that our daughter iS NOT pregnant. It was a false alarm from all the meth. Our son just got out of jail, so we're celebrating. He'll be on probation for a few years, so those of y'all with those guns and things, just stay away or he'll be back in the pokey again.

Well I guess you won't be getting one from me this year!
I think for some families it is more an exercise to have a portrait done in the first place, they don't really care so much if you see it but at least this is a way to ensure they are formally documenting their lives.

The 2 I've received this year were both good quality photos of attractive family units & no one looked awkward or uncomfortable. I've seen several over the years that were able to produce an uncomfortable feeling, to downright shockingly horrible.
I think the overall quality of this type of card is directly proportional to the family dynamics & health of the family structure. A normal, well adjusted family is simply not going to send out a card that makes them look bad. It really is as simple as that.

"""I'm happy to hear from people in whatever form they communicate - card, email, smoke signals..."""
