Write a Christmas letter to put in my Christmas cards to my extended family and friends. Write it in a funny, over the top way. Our last name is Fahrer. Talk about:
-	Mark, my oldest son, he plays center on the school’s basketball team. He just got his first girlfriend, her name is Ashley, and they spend a lot of time together. He recently totaled my car and is working extra hours after school at WalMart to pay for it.
-	Tina, she is my middle child and she is playing a minor role in the school’s version of Our Town. She spends a lot of time on social media and locks herself in her room much of the time. She loves fashion and makeup and changing her hair color. It’s pink right now.
-	Bella, my youngest is getting her wisdom teeth out in January and she has been busy babysitting and dog walking for extra cash. I think she might be saving all her cash for something big.
-	David, my husband, his bowling team came in 6th out of 7th in the league so he didn’t have to drink beer out of a bowling shoe. 
-	Me, Tanya, pick up people’s messes, take our 3 dogs for walk in blizzards at 4am and turn microwavable meals into delicious edible dinners.

Merry Christmas to all of our family and friends! We have had quite a busy year here in the Fahrer household. Even though we haven’t been in touch often enough, we wish you the very best this holiday season and hope all of you are doing well. 

We wanted to share some Fahrer highlights with you all to keep you up-to-date and connected with our family. We encourage you to do the same!

Our oldest boy, Mark, is excited to play center on the school’s basketball team. However, not quite as excited as he is to be working extra hours at WalMart to pay for my car after he crashed it. Don’t worry, though! Keep your cards and letters home, he and Ashley (his new girlfriend) are doing just fine. As a matter of fact, I think she got a job there, too, so they can spend even more waking moments together.

We also couldn’t be prouder of our little fashionista, pink-haired Tina. She has landed a role in the current school play, Our Town. This is an amazement to all of us because previously, her favorite hobby was to scroll through social media while locked away in her room. Our Town, or even our house, was surely a mystery to her before the stage called.

Our youngest, Bella, is our little entrepreneur. We are convinced she’s stashing her babysitting and dog-walking money away for something big. Will she buy us a new house? A new car? New siblings? 

Meanwhile, David and I have been busy leading our normal lives with kids who, clearly, have minds and dreams of their own. David’s bowling team squeaked out a near-loss and escaped a disastrous sip of beer out of a smelly bowling shoe by landing 6th out of 7th place. And, while he throws a shiny black ball down an alley, I’m taking our dogs for walks in the blinding snow and getting creative with home cooking. 

Despite all of this, or maybe because of it, we are never far from cracking a smile and spreading holiday cheer!

Want more updates? Can’t get enough Fahrer news? Stay tuned for next year’s issue, coming in a mere 12 months to a mailbox near you.
