Each day I look forward to the mail. It is a blessing and joy to receive Christmas cards and letters.
Sometimes it is a photo card and I marvel how the children in the family have grown. Other times it is a pretty card with a letter.
The cards and letters signify relationships and community. I am so thankful to hear from friends living in different states, different countries. We share the joy of Christmas along with family news.
The apostle Paul wrote letters to people of faith that he considered family.
Paul, a servant of God . . . to Titus, my child in a common faith. Titus 1:1,4
Do you write a Christmas letter? Or send a photo card?

I enjoy receiving the pictures and newsletters as well, but this year felt too overwhelmed to create my own.
I hope you will be encouraged by letters you receive. Wishing you joy this Christmas season.
Over the last few years we’ve stopped sending and receiving cards. Your post inspires me to restart this practice.
Visiting you from #30 on FMF
Yes! Have a blessed Christmas
I am your neighbour at number 28 on fiveminutefriday. I like the image. Yes, I too love receiving cards and all the newsletters that go with them. Emails are slowly replacing letters but they do not feel the same!
