Mama Earlene's Annual Christmas Letter from Shady Creek, Tennessee (2007)

Merry Christmas, y'all! Well, it's been another humdinger of a year here, so let me just bring y'all up to speed on the happenings in our neck of the woods.

As it turned out, we had bigger fish to fry when my brother Harvey tragically lost his life in a self-inflicted lawnmower accident.

Yes, it is true that Harvey got run over by his own lawnmower. Those who knew Harvey well surely won't be surprised that he could manage to do such a thing, but for those who only saw him acting like the big fool that he was at family reunions and so on, I will try to explain what happened....
