Every year we (The Hall's) send out a Christmas card to all our friends and family. And every year, we make fun of ourselves with an annual Hall-iday letter.
Since they should be arriving to mailboxes this morning, I thought it was fitting to post to my blog as well ...
Because if you're reading this, then I consider you my friend, and therefore ... you're on my "list" :)
Since we’re all on information overload this year, with everything from the presidential election to the economy plugging along as fast as a 1929 Model-T, we’re keepin’ it short because we know you deserve a breather this Holiday Season!
Here are the Hall-iday CliffNotes:
- Turns 91-years young this year
- Runs an unofficial shuttle service for her retirement community with her 1994 Toyota Corolla and continues to win the big card games on Sundays nights
We cordially request that you don’t share this letter with the IRS. She worries about the tax ramifications from her additional revenue...
- Is still enjoying her job at JP Morgan Chase in Chicago
- Has become an incredible cook, however we fear she has adopted Sue’s habit of talking
She hasn’t started to answer her own questions yet, so we’re still
hopeful the symptoms are not permanent
- Took a new job with Genworth Financial in Wisconsin
- Now lives in Milwaukee and actually admits to having a girlfriend
- Turned 30 this year yet still wears his college football jersey on Saturdays
No reason to lie about the jersey situation…we remain concerned
Stacey Marie
- Moved to Manhattan and took a new job with a small start-up called Peanut Labs
- Has developed a garden gnome obsession which the family psychiatrist said was “normal”
- Gladly admits to not having a boyfriend and insists it “has nothing to do with the gnomes”
We are currently interviewing for a new family psychiatrist
- Wakes up at 5am in the winter to coach the catchers for the Glenbrook South varsity baseball team before going to work
He however, still watches Desperate Housewives…religiously
- If you don’t know how busy Sue is, then you don’t know Sue. But, I bet she knows you, which explains why you’re reading this letter right now.
2008 has given us so much to be thankful for and we are ever so grateful. With the loss of our Grandpa Jim this year, we’ve faced many ups and downs. His passing reminds us how invaluable it is to spend time with those we love and to appreciate the time that we have together. As always, we wish you and your family a wonderful Holiday Season and the happiest New Year!
All the best,
The Halls :)
