Liz and Sam have it all: a happy marriage, a precocious preteen son named Nate, and a house that's just the right size for the three of them. Then, Liz's parents move in. Grandpa Irv is a kindly but occasionally grumpy Korean War vet who loves watching TV, bickering over politics, and spoiling his grandson. His wife Sarah is equally strong-willed, whether urging Irv to diet, questioning her daughter's parenting choices, or finding surprising success as an advice blogger.
With an estimated 50+ million Americans living in such families as of today, Freshly Squeezed is a refreshing look at newfound family togetherness after the economic collapse. Can three generations of one family share their lives, their feelings, their dwindling fortunes and a bathroom — and keep their sense of humor in the process? Pay a visit to the Freshly Squeezed family to find out! Freshly Squeezed is the brainchild of Ed Stein, an award-winning political cartoonist. He created the local comic strip, Denver Square, for the Denver Rocky Mountain News for 12 years. He lived the Freshly Squeezed life first-hand when his kids were little and his 80-year-old father moved to Denver.

Your not writing a novel so don’t lie like that. Almost approaching tabloid strength lying.

I always felt Christmas letters were just our family friends bragging about what they’ve done during the past year.

There’s some people I only communicate with at Christmas. I did keep the letter to one page this year – no room for embellishments.

I don’t write Christmas letters. I don’t see the point when I’ve been communicating with everyone the whole year. Of course, there are people among my relatives I don’t too often, but if they want to know something, they can always write to me and ask.
