SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS LETTER

1.  Write an update about your family or business in your message. Tell what each member of the family is doing or announce any big news. People will enjoy knowing what is going on.
2. Sometimes you need to be in the mood to write your Christmas messages. Try listening to Christmas music while you write in your cards. The words and the music will help you get to the festive mental state your need.
3. Remind people to stop and think about the more important things of Christmas. Remind people that the same family they are frustrated with during the holidays are people they love. Do this tactfully. Write something like: “Let’s remember to give each other the gift of patience this Christmas.”
