Healy Christmas Letter– Jagged Little Pill

If you are up on recent Broadway Musicals, then you already know about this letter thing. This is from the musical Jagged Little Pill. The musical takes the Alanis Morissette album and tells a story of one family’s dis-functionality. It reviews their eventual acceptance of life as it is. It discusses addiction, sexual assault and gender identity. Theater sometimes brings life to discussion. Our own Christmas card has been a simple photo collage of the people in our lives. There are many memories in each of these experiences. Sometimes buttoning up the story is not as easy as it seems. Instead I chose photos and prefer to let everybody reflect on their own memories. I realize my lens is unique to me your lens is important to you.
