Every year my wonderful husband
writes our family Christmas Letter and I absolutely LOVE to read it!! For me it’s an experience of seeing our year,
me, J-man, his life, our puppy, our weaknesses, and our accomplishments through
his eyes. It’s awesome! I love that he enjoys writing it and is
really thorough about it. As I read it, I find myself reliving moments,
realizing that I forgot about such and such, thinking Wow that’s how he sees that accomplishment, laughing, tearing up, and then I always end thinking, WOW, I married an awesome man! Sometimes I forget how sweet and loving he is
under his shell and today when I read our Christmas Letter that he wrote, I
fell in love all over again!
Writing a Christmas Letter is a
tradition from his side of the family that I am happy we are carrying on. I grew up close to my cousins and most of our
family friends were nearby, so a Christmas letter wasn’t necessary, but I do
always remember reading other’s Christmas letters and thinking it was so cool
to put your families’ year on paper for your loved ones to read about. I am definitely happy that we are carrying
this tradition on and that my husband is the designated letter writer. He’s so much better at it than I am.
Also, the letter adds a personal
touch. I always design a picture card
and hand sign the back with a little note, but the letter really brings the
picture full circle. I love our teamwork
for our Christmas cards! Thanks Babe! You’re the best! Love you!
Do you write a Christmas letter?
Do you like receiving them?
Much love.
I've never done it. But my cousin used to send a yearly Christmas letter, and my friend too :) I LOVED reading their updates. Maybe I should think of doing that too. I'm still working on sending actual cards... some years I do, some years I don't. I find it hard to commit! lol
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful that you have sweet man :) Very happy for you.
We love to read Ryan's letter, too, even though we know the events of the past year...it is wonderful to read his beautiful perspective! I also love revisiting memories he brings back to life! Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteI got your card, but I didn't get the letter :( I was so disappointed because I look for it every year. Maybe you could email it?
