So I sat down the other day to write up our annual holiday letter which we typically send with our holiday card – but after writing down everything that happened to us this year, I realized that there really wasn’t anything of significance that happened this year – even less so than last year. Fully half of the letter I wrote was just explaining the loss of Delilah and how we got Matilda, which just didn’t feel like the sort of thing you want to be reading about in a holiday letter.
Other than that, we really had very little happen to us this year (which is both good and bad), and we did very little of note – just a few small, local, long weekend trips, and our one week vacation.
So after a bit of thought, we decided we’re just going to skip the holiday letter this year. Hopefully by next year we’ll have something to report, but for this year – well, we’ve all got enough to remember about this year; we don’t need any more.
It’s that time of year again where we are normally putting together the holiday letter that we send out with cards – but as we were drafting the letter for 2022, we realized that there wasn’t much to say – making the whole point of the letter (letting people know what we’ve been up to) kind of moot.
Essentially, all we had to say was “we’re still here, the bunnies got sick a couple of times, we worked a lot, and we took 1 notable trip.”
Given this, we decided this wasn’t worth of a letter and so we’re once again just sending cards – though at least this time it’s not for quite as depressing a reason as last year.
