The yearly rehash of what happened through the year.

Do you send or receive them? Have you ever? Love 'em or hate 'em?
 

We only get one newsletter these days, from an elderly relative of the Spousal Equivalent. It consists of a month-by-month recitation of their doctor visits and health status, padded out with friends' and neighbors' doctor visits and health status. I'm not exaggerating. The newsletter is occasionally enlightened with a visit they made somewhere, but since they usually get sick when they travel, we get the details of their emergency room visits elsewhere.

Here's my Christmas newsletter, if I were to send one out:

January: We didn't go anywhere.
February: We still didn't go anywhere.
March: Still sitting at home.
April: Nothing has changed.
May: Ho-hum.
June: It's hot. We didn't go to the beach.
July: It's even hotter. Too hot to go to the beach, even if it WASN'T closed.
August: Help! Help! The walls are closing in!
September: I've heard the malls are open and decorated for Christmas. I'm not going.
October: I can't remember what the inside of my favorite restaurant looks like.
November: The Spousal Equivalent had emergency surgery. My mother died. The Spousal Equivalent accidently shot his shotgun through the roof. A whole year's angst squeezed into one month.
December: Is 2020 about over yet?
