We have relatives in the US, and every year before Christmas we get impressive letters that tell their whereabouts from the year. It is very interesting to read, but a little strange for us here in Sweden. Usually we only send cards for Christmas with a wish of a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
But my uncle compiles a complete letter to send to our relatives, and tells all about the happenings in our family. As he doesn't feel confident to write in English, I get to translate it for him. And that is what I have been doing tonight!
wow.. that seems to be a very long letter!! very interesting. nice to be updated! i haven't received anything like that from any family member. happy reading!!
ReplyDeleteI know these complete letters from a friend of mine! We also send only christmas cards with wishes.
ReplyDeleteOh before I forgot.. are you interested in a christmas card from Germany? Gabs is having a Christmas card project - but I´m not taking part of it because I do not share my private adress with everyone. Only with a few special persons .... like you.. so if you want...please mail me your adress
Hard work to write such a long letter short before christmas!! Nice idea but I think I'll keep on writing only cards ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice gesture ....
ReplyDeleteWe send only the usual greetings, but in such a beautiful letter would be very nice too!
Ha ha, it does seem to be a yearly obligation to do the "Christmas letter" that updates everybody on what happened the whole year. This year, I'm just going to provide a link to my blog and say, "Look here and read about all 365 of my days"!
