But what about your "Pelican version"? What could you post here to be equally awkward.... places to retire, what to do with my $5mil in liquid, is $3900 too much to change oil on my daily driver Bugatti Veyron?

Bragger. Now you made me feel bad inside. I need to go buy a new bass to fill the hole in my soul.

Btw, I think Hole in My Soul is playing Lollapalooza this year.

Observing the similarity as opposed to complaining.
Even though not the original thought it is interesting the hear the comments about brag letters in general so carry on...

Lapkritis: I don't want to give examples that I see on Pelican and start a fight because someone gets offended.

EVERY CARD was filled with pictures of kids and dogs. Not an adult to be found in any picture.

I thought it was kind of weird, honestly.

Next year I'm going to just send everyone a blank card, since I don't have any kids or dogs.
That's pretty much my experience. Next year we'll get another one of these made early enough to send them out to the folks who send pics of their kids and dogs.

I declare Rick the winner. Way better than kids or dogs.

We have never done a Christmas card, and don't plan to start. I suppose we probably get some in the mail, they find the trash before I get home. Much like Facebook, if I really care what you are up to I'll pick up the phone, email, texts, etc.

As for Pelican, this entire forum is predicated on Porsches, i.e. material possessions. I think most here do a great job sharing their cool new toys without coming across as bragging. If you find yourself jealous, that's your problem. I personally love to see my friends succeed.

Wow. OP is taking the chest/legs/butt/panty threads WAY too seriously.

Ha - thanks Alex. As a proud father - they're the only reason I would ever write a "Christmas letter" - including pics of my fur kids.
