family newsletter
Relatives' periodic update
A family newsletter is a periodic update—typically annual, often accompanying holiday cards—sharing news about a household's activities, achievements, and milestones.
The format ranges from earnest summaries of children's accomplishments to self-deprecating accounts of the year's disasters.
Family newsletters are sometimes mocked for their relentless positivity: Their family newsletter made it sound like they'd cured cancer and climbed Everest.
