My Christmas plans are not good this year. I wish I had a river I could skate away on. I suffer envy, I do know that. However, no matter how wonderful I was I'd NEVER send correspondence like that to anyone. Ever. (I held the letter up to the light to see if there was a check enclosed. Don't see one. Tsk Tsk Tsk for shame of me)

That sounds like good kindling for the fire that you need to sit by and enjoy your Christmas with a drink... Get him a recording of his own best hits for a gift. Sounds like an Obama gift to the Queen of England to me... Merry Christmas!

I wish you a happy christmas. I've no doubt wished you that same thing before but you just can't say it enough.
I like you and how you talk.

I have relations who boast and bragg, I just listen to them and take the p... they don't realise I'm doing it because they are too much up their own ar....... Don't let it bother you, or send a letter back to him telling him what a wonderful life your having. But if it's going to spoil your Christmas by opening it , just bin it or burn it.

It's his life and he's sharing the highlights with you (and whoever else gets the letter). It may depress you because, as you say, you suffer from jealousy, but do you honestly resent that he has his life?
I sent a letter at Christmas for years, summarizing what the family had enjoyed and endured during the year, and I always tried to keep it low key and humble. Many commented on how they enjoyed them (some letters ended up as poems!)
It was difficult the first year my ex was gone and my kids were out of control. That year was a poem, part of which said, "Fine, you'll be doing hard time", in reference to some of the stuff the two older ones were doing. I never lied to make everything seem perfect. I have saved copies of every letter for my sons to have and read some day (if they are so inclined) :D
I say OPEN IT and READ IT, and be thankful you have a sibling! For every friend he mentions, think of us, for every accomplishment he mentions, look at all your karma points, and for his airplane, well, think about the new computer you plan to get!

Your Christmas letter would NEVER be like his. Never ever in a hundred years. What a great idea to share them with your sons when the time comes. It's not too late to write one this year, you know. Make it a New Year's letter. I might try that myself. Really. You did a good job with your mother's life story. You've got it in ya! Writers are people who need to live twice!
I've decided to bin it but it isn't a fete accompli yet. Maybe ...
IF you read the letter, just know that it's going to be the same old, same old...PROBABLY. As we get older, though, sometimes our priorities change. You never know what MAY be in that letter....(Just don't expect too much)

Si tu hermano es talentoso es por que tiene mucho trabajo y le a costado esfuesos. Deberias valorarlo y si tienes tiempo para vivir sin tanto en que ocuparte no te recientas. Disfruta tu tiempo libre.
