I wrote this piece in early 1999, soon after the holidays, and it’s always been a favorite for many people. It’s about those over-the-top mailings people often send with their holiday cards. Years ago, before everyone was on Facebook, there were those bragging letters people sent with their holiday cards (and some still do). But, really, nobody cares about the incredible trip your family took to Fiji or the fact that your daughter scored 9,000 on her SATs. Listen in and laugh along with me.
Incidentally, right around this time, the whole Bill Clinton – Monica Lewinsky thing had been a major news story for more than a year. His name does come up briefly in this podcast episode, but there’s much more.
