For over 35 years, we have sent out our Christmas Letters to keep everyone informed of our whereabouts and exploits. In keeping with the demand for access to these little stories and to better allow others to see the history of our family through this bizarre window, we put all the past letters on a web page.  In 2011, the site had to be taken down due to threats from the new administration, but we are now off the NSA watch list.

 

On this page you will find the entire history of our family and hopefully we'll be able to answer those nagging questions you've had about us.  The letters are listed chronologically beginning with the initial letter done in 1987 to 2014.  The letters from 2011 to 2014 are combined due to...Well you read the letter and find out!  Below is the most current 2023 Christmas Letter:

Celebrities....we know how you love celebrities.  We love them too.  Being celebrities ourselves, we've hob nobbed with the best of them from Bill & Hillary Clinton to Michael Jackson and even everyone's favorite Captain Hazelwood.  The list of A, B & C List celebrities featured in our Christmas Letters is huge....bigger than some of the stars themselves.  Take a trip down memory lane with the Philson and revisit what happened in years gone by...

 

You're trying to remember a Christmas Letter with a particular storyline involving a certain celebrity but you can't remember the year in which it occurred? Thanks to the magic of my boring Christmas vacation, I've made it easier for you.  Click on the reindeer to access an alphabetical list of celebrities in a comprehensive document that lists which Christmas Letters each celebrity are mentioned in. Some celebrities are one year acquaintances, while others have return appearances. Some are still well-known while others are only vaguely familiar. For some of the lesser known celebrities, I have provided their "claim to fame".

 

As you will see, the first letters were brief and without any images. As digital technology expanded, we began inserting images that help tell the stories and now, for the second time, the letters are available to the world 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  We hope you enjoy the letters and share the site with your friends.
