you've been to is just around the corner and there's nothing like spreading a good old-fashioned Christmas dinner. However, do you ever get annoyed by cards and news

letter

s when families seem too perfect? Well, one family's Christmas news

letter

recently went viral for being

brutally

honest

and people love it. The Allen family aired all their dirty laundry, for example, telling friends and family that their three-year-old son Landon is married. all the time and won't go to sleep, and then there's 18 year old Maddie who got punished for sneaking a guy in her window to watch a movie yeah, they got juicy Christmases Carter has a newsletter you were supposed to tell and then there's the father of the family, Tom, who took money from his retirement account to buy a fishing boat.

I'm sure he told it all. Do you find this kind of Christmas

honest

y refreshing or do they look too much? Not so much, yes. For example, why is it considered bad? However, if you simply share with your families why they think it is bad that your daughter snuck it in to someone. the window that is real life, although I approach it like you know and this is what Sam, you're not going to like what I have to say, but I will. I don't love Christmas cards when they are all so perfect. I don't care when a Chris Martin Christmas card arrives and the baby cries because he's too afraid of Santa or the siblings don't get along and look at each other like, I hate you, like it's real to me in my family, it's all really real.

I don't mind. Heard. I don't care that she's being honest. I think it's comforting to see that everyone you know doesn't have this perfect life, but she looks, I know I know. I'm not perfect and I know everyone else isn't perfect, but for me I think there has to be a little balance with the car first. First, Jeannie aired everyone's clothes except her own. So if you're going to talk about everyone in your family, put a little bit of something in there so Jeanie, what would be your Christmas? It better be okay. I decided to put together my first newsletter for my family, so Dad takes pictures of pigeons. like his exotic bird hangs on everything and they also mistake him for Walter White when he's dressed for gardening.

Exhibit A, however, my brothers Denis and Daniel, some somehow, have not yet been arrested for public indecency or disorderly conduct by asking to have their photographs taken. taken from them on their family outings well yesterday in Beachwood and my mom spent Friday shopping at t.j.maxx and Ross and Lee hid their items in the children's section to decide if she will still want them later the woman who makes Poncho comes out of bags of garbage that is frying food for dinner. My family is welcome. I love it, it was cheeky, it was fun. I don't think anything there was really negative and ugly, although you know what I mean, it's not embarrassing in the newsletter, is it? but this is like a page long you no no I'm not someone who has never received a newsletter or my family doesn't do these newsletters like you my family you know what's up other people need details it's like well like you're a third cousin or something, I play with more friends you haven't seen in a long time.

I'm told people look forward to our Christmas cards and that's why I do it. It's like a big event and yeah, we're not, we're not perfect, but I like it. I like that it looks perfect for just one damn day of the year. Make people feel better about seeing that other people aren't perfect. I don't think it's a joke, yeah, like I wrote a newsletter for the real Jesus, yeah, no, I don't quite get the point. I'm not like Adam, okay, we're not going to do that, so here's the annual New Year's Eve or Jesus. mid-season newsletter for the real Genie is still talking right three on a steel talking Tamara is still gushing about her love for Adam Lonnie I still get it right if your kids are well behaved you might want to enlist the Elf's help in the shelf Have you heard of this shelf?

It started as a book in 2005 and has taken over homes around the world. Now, how it works is that parents tell their children that the elf is watching them at all times and will inform Santa if they do. acts again, however, the elf is supposed to change locations constantly and parents get very upset, you know, when they have to move the elf all the time, plus some actually think it's creepy to tell a child that it's being constantly watched by a Do you think the elf on a shelf is a naughty or nice way to get your kids to behave?

I tried it, my kids are too smart, it didn't work, it didn't work for us, however I have to say Adam found it. something new, okay, Aiden was acting up, I mean acting up, it actually happened yesterday, yeah, and then I was about to discipline him and then Adam said no, Tamera, I got this, I got this, so the phone started to dream. Guess what? all of you, it was Santa, there is a yes, there is a real app called message from Santa, you can write the name of the children, you can write the age of the children and you can choose from different options of why Santa calls, well he chose which Aiden wasn't.

He wasn't behaving so he got a call from Santa at Santa, you know, at St. Ridley's, he said and literally the call starts with ho ho ho and then Aiden was like oh oh my gosh, it's really him and he was like I could remember you. you're five years old and then it was like, "Oh my god, you think," then he did it and then Santa proceeded to say "I heard you weren't a good boy, you're going to have to be on the naughty list" and then it was like it worked. He totally behaved that day, so you guys have to download the app.

The way they can make their children behave is fine. They take some simple boxes with nothing in them and wrap them well and every time they misbehave they say: listen. If you misbehave, I throw one of your gifts in the fire and you take it and throw it in the fireplace and the kids would say, would you say you found it creepy when you tell a kid that an alpha is watching because I think well, I grew up. , when do you remember the movie Chucky, yes, no, that doll was not right? I didn't like some dolls and by the way when you really think about all the dolls they are a little creepy if once I know they might be watching you yeah so I didn't have a lot of dolls like that growing up but what I did have was in Illinois, my um noise, my grandfather took care of us and took care of us between 3:00. 00 and 6:00 when my parents were working but the only thing is that my noise has given us a stroke so he can only move and see things from this side of the room yeah so when he needed to act and do my things you're not supposed to do before dinner I'll eat cheesecake, stay on the phone with my boyfriend and watch Alvin and the Chipmunks instead of doing homework, I'd do it on this side of the room Lonnie Lonnie, I'm putting on The Smartest Ones, are you guys kidding me, it's Gino's Abuna that's high.

I make you abuse the baby, do you abuse them? I know where I'm going. I'm lost, you know what, yeah, no, do you think this is a city Santa could call? Jeanne, that was wrong, you're going to get a call from Santa, little one, put your name on ninety children to lie to yourself, lady, no. I recently published an article debunking all the excuses you make for overeating during the

holiday

season, you know who? I'm talking about some of the most common excuses which include saying that you are overeating to avoid being rude to the cook or that you are overeating because you have too many parties to attend and intentionally gaining weight so that you can stay warm during the cold winter. .

Months we all hear that, yes, very good ladies, the excuses come out of your mouths when you start stuffing your face when you feel the need to feed. I'm a grown man, you'll tell me and I'll do it. break it thank you very much eating this bad drink they give me anyway it's the mistletoe Oh, it's the

holiday

s. I'm doing the opposite this holiday season. I'm actually trying to be good and stay focused this holiday season, please. I do not do it. I don't have much to work on come January, yeah, whatever's healthy until December 24th, yeah, after that it's free for everyone and my excuse will be that I don't normally eat like that, I normally do that, I don't know how I do it. do. this, but I'm going to eat anything and everything and jazz everything up, so December 24th to December 25th yeah, trying it, are you going to ask someone else to do that?

No, no, no, go away. I want everyone else to eat. Actually, I just want to. Having one cheat meal instead of the whole day is smarter, so for dinner I'll eat whatever I want, as much dessert as I want, but that's just on Christmas Day. I didn't understand it, it's not boring, I'm sorry, because if I win everything during the holidays, when I make my New Year's resolutions for January 1st, I will have to do more. At parties, you talk about the food in the original recipes, from your charity, that means I can eat some of it, not all of it, no.

Too many parties I came up here pretending this is true This is quiet I won't answer you I'll try to lay eggs in my garden three five so far I've lost three so yeah, okay, yeah, okay, let's pretend I drank but I still lost three pounds, yeah, I think it's more about the drinking, what Christmas parties look like. I'm different. I plan to do some twerking for New Years. Someone put some things in the back here and sat at the table without eating anything. drinking and having fun I ate a hamburger with you you went, it was a lady, yes, it was a mini bologna.

What did I do? But what I did? I took off a bun after she saw me take off a loaf to eat both full of your white cola, she says God, you'd like to just call it hamburgers with bread cream, she thinks she was right to take it, right? I lost three pounds. We have a delivery from someone very special. Well, guys, listen up. Santa brought us something that will take us to clean the house. to the next level and I'm being honest with you right now. I got something like this season one and I was hoping we would get it again and you guys are real Latinos.

It is not my favorite product. Start with the best overall cleaning vacuum. giving your multi-story pet an allergen-free cleaning experience and guess what, Sam, everyone in our studio audience. Oh me.
