I don't know if I like getting circular xmas emails. Especially when I have not heard from the people all year. The old printed family updates used to have a hand written note at the bottom of the page with personal touch, but some people are just sending the same thing to everyone as if it were an obligation. Does an impersonal computer generated update deserve a personal, well thought out, reply?

at least you havent been entirely forgotten issue....this is our communication now and in the future..
