Family Affair (2009)
“I never got the point. Awkward, insincere small talk printed on overpriced greeting cards. I wouldn’t say these things to you in person. I wouldn’t write them to you in a letter. I therefore don’t want someone else writing them for me in four-line stanzas illustrating heartfelt prefab musings on your importance to me. And don’t get me started on the “family newsletter.”
Layla and I always made a mockery of Christmas cards—or at least we played around with the tradition. We’d go to Wal-Mart or S...ears or the closest mall and take one of those cheesy portraits and make cards out of the photo, but we’d create a new bullshit backstory every year and dress for the occasion. The DeBonis from New Jersey, moving to Cali after turning state’s evidence. The Hurleys from Dubuque. The Avgambishis from New Delhi. It was silly but fun, our friends always enjoyed them, and we had a good time in the process. (I can’t imagine Heather wanting to do that—although we’ve had a couple more dates that I’ve rather enjoyed.MoreLess
