Does anyone else still receive round robin letters? Multi page letters from friends or family that were the same and sent to everyone at this time of year. I remember one person's in particular that was basically just a recap of this year's misery including their various health problems etc. It would be read aloud at the Christmas dinner table while the family would all giggle at their terrible experiences. My wife's family had a terribly dark sense of humour.



I think that's a bulk letter, not round-robin.

If it were round-robin, you'd have to mail it to the next person on the list, just like a chain letter. ...minus the dramatic consequences if you failed, although perhaps familial disappointment is both stronger and more likely!


Friends of ours do this, and we love receiving them!


People used to do them all the time for Christmas, but then got lazy and started sending just a card.
