We love love letters

Ever written a love letter to your sweet? We asked some culturatti dads what makes their partners special. Here’s what we got:

Benjamin Errett – Features Managing Editor at the National Post and author of Jew and Improved.

Tod Abrams – Runs a promotions and publicity firm in Hollywood and blogs as the Reluctant Daddy.

Jonathan Liu – GeekDad contributor

Jonas Chernick – Actor on Degrassi, Little Mosque on the Prairie, Living in Your Car and much more.

Seriously, what’s sweeter than a dad expressing love for his family? Because we were so thrilled with the love letters we got last Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, we’ve once again asked some culturatti dads to chime in on what makes their partners great.

You can catch actor Jonas Chernick on Degrassi, Little Mosque on the Prairie and Living in Your Car.

Dearest Nicki:

Yup, it’s Valentine’s Day again. That evil, Hallmark-created cash-grab that tries to sneak up every year and squeeze us with guilt. But not us, right? Nope. We’re non-traditionalists. We’re creative  types. We snicker at the weak, pathetic, easily-manipulated masses. We’re better than all that. Who needs a designated day to celebrate our love? We celebrate our love every day.  Read more...

We’re in the process of making Tod Abrams our new best friend. He’s just so great. You really need to be reading/watching The Reluctant Daddy. Of course we needed a letter from him.

Dear George,

Below, please find some liner notes to the ‘Do You Love Me?’ number from the all-male version of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF that we’re staging in four weeks time at the Manhole in Long Beach.  I’m thrilled to tell you that I have an entirely new ‘take’ on this Broadway standard when instead of setting our production of FIDDLER in early 20th century Tsarist Russia (which I think is just too damn depressing) we find Tevya (Thomas), Golda (Gerald) and their three smokin’ hot triplets Hayden, Tristan and Bruce are now modern-day WASPs asked to leave their family compound in West Palm Beach because their ‘marriage’ isn’t recognized by the fascistic government of Florida!  Read more...

We asked Benjamin Errett, an editor at The National Post and author of Jew and Improved, because a guy who writes a whole book about converting to Judaism so he can marry his wife probably has some funny and lovely things to say about his wife and kid.

Dear Sarah and the little shouty one,

Look at you both, sitting side by side working on your second feature film and/or chewing the oddly coloured toucan on your activity centre. Such industry! What a work ethic! I love you both in a way that I wouldn’t have understood just four short months ago. I sorta-kinda saw this coming, but didn’t really know what it was. It’s a bit like the way we named the little shouty one.  Read more...

We’re big GeekDad fans. These dads (and now moms) are all about sharing their love of comic books, Star Wars, technology and science with their kids. We asked GeekDad contributor Jonathan Liu what makes his wife special:
