Christmas Correspondence
between
Martha Stewart and Erma Bombeck
Hi Erma,
Just a little holiday note to let you know what I have been up to. Do you like the notepaper, I made it myself. I made the ink from some old left over grapes. You know, not all grapes are suitable for wine making, and we don't want to waste any, now do we.
Since it snowed last night, I got up early and made a sleigh with old barn wood and a glue gun. I stained it with what was left of the cranberries I have.
Then to pull the sleigh, I made a white horse, from some
DNA
that I just had sitting around in my craft room.
By then, it was time to start making the place mats and napkins for my 20 breakfast guests. I'm serving the old standard Stewart twelve-course breakfast.
Before I moved the table into the dining room, I decided to add just a touch of the holidays. So I repainted the room in pinks and stenciled gold stars on the ceiling.
Then while the homemade bread was rising, I took antique candle molds and made the dishes (exactly the same shade of pink) to use for breakfast. These were made from Hungarian clay, which you can get in almost any Hungarian craft store.
Well I must run. I need to finish the buttonholes on the dress I'm wearing for breakfast. I'll get out the sled and drive this note to the post office as soon as the glue dries on the envelope I'll be making.
Hope my breakfast guests don't stay too long - I have 40,000 cranberries to string before my speaking engagement at noon.
Love, Martha Stewart

Dear Martha,
I am writing this on the back of an old shopping sack, pay no attention
to the coffee stains. I'm 20 minutes late getting my daughter up for school and can't find my tablet.
The pound called, seems old Ruff needs bailing out, again too. Guess I will stop there after the school stop
Burnt my arm on the curling iron when I was trying to make those cute curly fries, how DO they do that?
Still can't find the scissors to cut out some snowflakes, I tried using an old disposable razor...trashed the tablecloth. So now, I guess I will have to go get another.
I tried that cranberry thing, frozen cranberries were all mushed up after I defrosted them in the microwave.
Oh, don't use the Fruity Pebbles as a substitute in that Rice Krispie snowball recipe, unless you happen to like a disgusting shade that resembles puke!
The fudge is boiling over, and there is smoke coming from the oven. Oh Dear, there goes the smoke alarm again, talk to ya later.
Love, Erma
