We have an opening for a slutty distant cousin with a drinking problem.
Is your brother still trying to convince people that life is rough because his birthday is on Christmas Eve and he tends to get short shrift?
Truth is... it's a great time to have a birthday. Everyone is already in a holiday mood, everyone is happy, and everyone tends to make a point to remember your birthday is the day before, so that you never never never feel left out.
The whole "...my birthday gets lost in the shuffle" thing is a great scam.
I think your family should adopt me.

Nah. He used to use that excuse when he was like, 10, but not anymore. And poor guy, you have it better. People here purposely try to FORGET his birthday so that they don't have to purchase yet another gift. I'm the only one (other than parents) who makes an effort to make his birthday special for him.
I guess Geez mentioning a slutty alcoholic cousing got me thinking. The late Jim Murray was a sports columnist for the L.A. Times, and he was one of the best. Anyway, one of his pet peeves was those form letters families send out at Christmas, so he decided to strike back. Enjoy: And Now, the Truth Behind All That Holiday Jeer
By Jim Murray
Stop me if youfve heard this, but are you as tired as I am of the upbeat Christmas letters, the look-at-us, hurray-for-our-side family chronicles you get this time of year?
You know what I mean. The ones that start out something like this:
gWell, itfs been a banner year for the Mulligans. Christin finally had our first grandchild, a bouncing baby girl, 9 pounds 7 ounces, whofll probably grow up to be our first woman president.
gJohn has taken over the Federal Reserve System. Paula is still working on a cancer cure at Johns Hopkins and we expect a breakthrough any day now. A Nobel Prize, perhaps?
gDad and I are enjoying our retirement. He has produced a new hybrid rose for our garden that is hailed by horticulturists everywhere.
gI am still busy with my charity work, saving the whales, protecting the spotted butterflies, supporting a Hottentot village in the South Pacific and still have time to combat illiteracy in our universities and lobby for outlawing the death penalty but legalizing abortion. Dad thinks I take on too much, but I was on Howard Stern twice last year and am taking dead aim on Oprah Winfrey.
gPhil got his PhD in optical engineering and is working on the telescope with which they hope to bring in heaven by the end of the century. Rita is in the Peace Corps some place where they can only get a message out by bottle but finds her life fulfilling and thinks the dysentery is only temporary. Harriet is still into archeology and they have found the lost city of an Aztec sun god of the second century BC, but she canft find her car keys.
gSo, all in all, itfs been a joy and we look forward to more of the same in 1996 and hope you all are enjoying the happiness and success that has been our fortunate lot this year.h
Well, when I read those, I have this irresistible urge to pen the kind of letter I dream of receiving:
gWell, itfs been a good year on balance for the Mulligans. Clarence got out of prison in time for Christmas and the good news is, he likes his parole officer.
gHilda got another divorce, her ninth, and she has moved back home with her 11 kids. We donft know where her ex-husband is. Neither do the police. Hefs two years behind in child support to Hilda and 10 years behind to his other five wives.
gPaul has stopped sucking his thumb. Wefre proud of him. Hefs only 16.
gCarl is doing better. Hefs happy to say he cleared $30,000 last year begging from cars at the corner of Crescent Heights and Santa Monica Boulevard. He is buying a new Mercedes. He loves it when they yell at him, eGet a life!f
gFrank lost his job at the factory. Theyfre downsizing. Particularly with guys like Frank who they said was late 47 times last year, didnft show up at all on 20 other days and got caught making book in the company cafeteria.
gTom goes around burning flags. Hefs not unpatriotic. He says itfs a good way to meet girls.
gAlicefs movie career is progressing nicely. She got to wear clothes in her last flick–a garter belt. She also got a speaking part–all moans. Itfs not Shakespeare, but itfs a start.
gJonathan flunked out of another college. The dean explained, Jonathan missed the question eWhat year was the War of 1812?f but he only missed it by 2. We tell him if he had a good jump shot, he could miss it by a century and still graduate cum laude.h
Face it. Wouldnft a letter like that be a welcome relief? So, have a happy Christmas and a great New Year. Just donft tell us about it, eh?

I missed the boat on those energy-efficient outdoor LED lights last year, so I made sure not to wait until the last minute this time. :victory:
They have a blue-white glow to them (cool white) so it does add to the wintery time of the season. :)
