...you get a Christmas letter from family you have no idea you had. I don't even know what side of the family they are from, though from their friends list I'm guessing my mother's side. Apparently they're on my FB friends list, though they rarely post and so I didn't recognize the name. It's just really weird getting a letter detailing their lives and I'm just like, "Who the f**k are you, anyway?" (I have a really ginormous extended family who all live half a continent away and I never hear from them.)
I suppose I'm guilty of the same thing...I just get an address list from my mother (the genealogist of the family who knows everyone) and send a bunch of Christmas letters and cards each year, even if I don't know half of them. Just bam, one mass mailing to a bunch of strangers that I'm somehow related to. (I was hoping to get away with just cards this year, but since notable stuff actually happened for both Hubs and me and my grandparents are, like, really close to kicking the bucket, I suppose I need to just sit down and write a page of stuff, huh?)
