Woman: Listen to the Remleys' Christmas letter! 17-year-old Sean was sentenced to six years for burglary... Carla joined a motorcycle gang and lives in a cave in Utah... nine-year-old Kevin stole a semi... Fed up with boastful Christmas letters, the Remleys decide to have some fun with theirs.
One of my favorite Christmas cards was from my relative who is a professional photographer with an elegant studio in the post part of town. When his daughter was about 2, they primped her up in the cutest Christmas dress, did her hair real pretty and then put her in front of a gorgeous background for the Christmas card shot. She then proceeds to throw a category 5 temper tantrum! He tried for HOURS to get a decent shot of her without success! When we received the card, it was as described above with the daughter just SCREAMING her head off while pretty as a picture. An absolute riot!!
“Glory to God in the Highest! And PEACE to all those upon whom His favor rests!”
