Seasoned Greetings

Christmas letters are, for the most part, either boring (“Dick continues to work at Xerox in the shipping department. In February, he was named Employee of the Month. He received a $25 gift certificate.”) or pretentious (“Well, Michelle has really blossomed in her ballet group this year. She starred again in ‘The Nutcracker.’ Huge article in the local paper.”) Tony Cobourn’s family Christmas letters are atypical. They are, first of all, hilarious. But this thirty-year compilation is also a poignant account of a functional family’s growth. Tony has captured all the stories of crazy neighbors, teenage angst, vacation misadventures, and marital coexistence. From young, struggling parents of noisy, messy children to old, struggling grandparents of brilliant, photogenic grandchildren, Seasoned Greetings will warm your heart as it recalls your own memories of holiday correspondence.
