Lew Lefton and Enid Steinbart’s Holiday Letter Page

This is an archive of our famous holiday letters. They offer a (sometimes twisted) glimpse into my family. If you don’t know us and you find yourself reading them, anyway, now may be a good time to close your browser, step away from the keyboard, and take a walk. You can then repeat to yourself “I DO have a life, I DO have a life…”.
