Welp, 2021 came and went so quickly you completely forgot to write your Christmas letter again this year. Hey, it’s not your fault, it was crazy-fast for all of us. It’s the PTSD from 2020. Don’t beat yourself up.
But it’s three days ‘til Christmas and there’s no way you can get a coherent letter put together in time now. Not with all the residual 2020 traumatic stress and whatnot.
Well, once again, ol’ Smidgey Claus has got you covered. I have created the 2021 DIY Christmas Letter Grid. Just pick one item from each column in order to string together a sentence that captures the essence of your 2021 experience. Repeat as needed to fully recap this whirlwind of a year.
Now, get to it. There’s no time to lose.

We lost |
our child tax credit checks |
in |
the harassment charges. |
|
We sheltered with |
Simone Biles |
after |
the labor shortage. |
|
We opened |
toilet paper, again |
during |
school and pro sports. |
|
We cried about |
booster shots |
in the middle of |
Ted Lasso. |
|
We prayed for |
Harry & Meghan |
since |
the trip to space. |
|
We freed |
Elon Musk |
prior to |
Olympic skateboarding. |
|
We bought |
the supply chain |
from |
the conservatorship. |
|
We gained |
Britney Spears |
after |
the Delta variant. |
|
We worried about |
TikTok |
throughout |
the Capitol riot. |
|
We abandoned |
Afghanistan |
despite |
the flooding. |
|
We lived without |
Andrew Cuomo |
before |
a Zoom meeting. |
There you go. Now add a “Merry Christmas,” sign, and send. You’re all set.
No need to thank me. It’s what I do. Now crack open that second bottle of spiked eggnog and let’s all pray this next year is a lot less weird than the last two.
Merry Christmas, y’all!
See you soon,
-Smidge
