MotherBraggers

“Look everyone! I got the Blue Ribbon and it came attached to this little girl!”

Who says letter writing is dead?
MotherBraggers (MBs) are more than thrilled to put it on paper when it comes to the Annual Brag Fest of all Brag Fests, the Family Holiday Letter.

Excerpts from some of the worst I’ve ever endured, and they aren’t made up, will be posted here for your eye-rolling pleasure. The names and locations have naturally been changed to keep the real authors responsible for these abominations from suspecting a thing.

Think you can top these? Start collecting because if you share your favorite Holiday Letters in a Reply,  you could win a Brag Bag full of unusual items recommended by certified MotherBraggers.  Plus the MBs in your life will get more of that recognition they so richly deserve.

No fiction necessary. The real thing is bad enough all on its own.

I Couldn’t Make This Stuff Up

Dear Family: So what happened to us this Year? Both boys are at Stanford…Stevie is analyzing how diplomats at the US Embassy in Moscow operated day to day during the Vietnam era for his senior honors thesis, and Brian is doing an experiment with drip painting (think Jackson Pollack) for a math seminar to see if repetition leads to fractal patterns. MBGrade: A+

Happy Happy Joy Joy! Ruth is 15… She volunteers as a camp counselor… all the little kids are in love with her and for that matter there seem to be a lot of big kids in love with her as well. MBGrade: B+

Highlights of our Year: …our lavish 10th anniversary spent in Provence, France, sans infants. Mary, at 5, is very loving, enthusiastic, and interested in a bit of everything. MBGrade: B
