Modern Bragging

With today's technology, you don't have to wait for your annual Christmas letter to let everyone know how awesome your life is.  Facebook status updates, tweets and Kodak photo mugs let you brag about Tommy's superior IQ and your impressive baccarat payout under the guise of keeping in touch. 

It's easier to make your online 'friends' jealous because you never post photos of your pock marks or mention your husband's perversions.
