Friends,
It's time once again for the annual Meeks family Christmas letter. Just a quick note from the clan to let you all know what's been happening in our lives in the last year. First, our oldest child, Jabopolous, was accepted into a program for the mentally sterile. He spends his days building imitation coffee mugs out of recycled zip-lock bags and lime Jell-O. He seems to enjoy it well enough except for the ridiculous amount of theoretical physics equations they are forced to compute, at gunpoint, between the hours of 2 and 4 AM, Eastern Standard Time. The twins, Nestle and The Stye, are serving time in a federal penitentiary for the various crimes they committed across seven states and the US Virgin Islands. Since I described in such detail their wrong doings in last year's letter I won't harass you with the details now. However, I would like to apologize for giving perhaps too precise a description of their less than benevolent actions towards that horse and blind child in Alabama. Based on the angry voice-mails I received, that did not sit well with most of you. Our youngest, Jesus, and his Rap-Folk Trio Jesus and the New Zealand Frictions have been touring the world. But my sources tell me that they have been spending more time doing high quality Columbian heroin off the backs of shaved and sedated polar bears than actually playing music. Oh, those boys of mine. As for Gerardo and I, we couldn't be better. Since our concurrent surgeries to have our hypothalamus and cancerous tea nodes removed, respectively, we have spent our lives in an all-Jeopardy and vanilla-laced taco supreme haze. Well, Gerardo needs the 11th of his 19 daily root-beer float sponge baths so I must be going. The best to you and yours this hamtastic holiday season.
Merrily,
Mrs. Jake Meeks
