Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

Thank you for the beautiful grey shirt with the while collar and the luxurious dark grey sweater with the colored stripes.  Remember the fifty dollars you have me for Hanuka?  Well I spent part of it on some great beige pants.  I spent most of the rest at this great comic book convention I went to today.  I saved lots of money on otherwise expensive comics which will increase in value greatly in the future.  Hope you are having a good new year!!

Love,  Matt

  2. Wow. I don't think I've ever actually seen the word "Luxurious" used outside of a timeshare sales brochure...
