The Family Christmas Letter

Daisy Allsmall Tweedie, our family dog, sat down and wrote this year's family Christmas letter. She has done this for the past four or five years. Before that our youngest child wrote the letter each year going back to our eldest daughter's birth year of 1982.

Both the dog and the daughters have had a ghost writer, of course, who, like the Wizard of Oz, is happy to shout, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

In recent years the family letter has been written around this first week of December. For some unknown reason, however, the letter has not been mailed out until Christmas week or after. Time will tell if this year will be any different than any other.

Daisy the Beagle has done her part. I guess the rest is up to "the man behind the curtain!"
