[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love these letters! We get a few per year from good friends who live out of town or abroad.

Far more people did them before social media. It was typical in my parents' circle of relatives and friends.

I *think* this will die out - I’m 55 and only one of my contemporaries sends a 2 page letter front and back, no paragraphs - just a wall o’ text.

Christmas newsletters seemed be rise and peak in popularity circa mid 1990s when tech savvy boomers got home computers with color printers and had a great time selecting festively-bordered papers and coordinating envelopes.

My FIL would have been one who’d happily compose and print a newsletter with photos from his home office circa 1995.

I know because as a frequent thrifter, I see packs of these unopened sets!

My late parents used to receive an annual Larlo Smith Family Calendar - from long ago neighbors - the couple would hand draw a calendar page FOR EACH MONTH & they draw or write notable events on certain days:

6/10/84: Family Vacation, Iowa
12/11/84 : Audrey 1st @ AAU Skate
