Cyrano's Christmas Letter

A new writing venture perhaps....my friend, closing out an exhausting year, with unrelenting schedule, an absentee extended family, and the demands of a house full of kids, hired me to write her Christmas letter. Unsure of how a Cyrano-style Christmas letter would work, she read the draft to a friend, who proceeded to cry.  I'm not sure if it's good to make people cry at the happiest time of the year.  But the reality is, Christmas, while full of excitement and joy, is also the time where sorrows can run like a slow hidden stream, buried.  The letter goes out soon. We'll hear the reaction soon!
