By Jennifer Carter
I love the holidays! I love baking, shopping, wrapping gifts, finding and decorating the tree, and, I love writing my letter and hearing from friends and relatives from all over the United States. Don't let writing your letter be a chore; here are some tips to make it fun.

10 Tips For Writing Your Letter

1.Write your letter with a friend, your spouse, or your sister. It's more fun when you share memories and laugh and cry about the year that's gone by. Drink cocoa and have some cookies while you work.

2.Use a word processor to make corrections and revisions easy. Use of a spell checker makes sure your letter will be perfect. However, if you don't use a computer, a hand-written letter is always wonderful to receive. Be sure someone proofreads it before sending.

3.Use special holiday paper that can be purchased at an office supply store. Or use colored paper and add pictures and borders. Use a pretty font and dress the letter up with some bold type or stickers.

4.Start your letter with holiday wishes and questions

about your friends' and relatives' well-being. Tell everyone you miss them.

5.Next, describe your year. Don't brag! Both happy and sad events should be included. Tell a cute story or two. Keep the letter under two pages.

6.Then, send more wishes for wonderful holidays and a happy new year.

7.Sign your letter by hand.

8.Use a decorated or colored envelope and add a stamp and seals.

9.Include family pictures in your letter.

10.Mail your letter early.

So, grab a friend, heat up some cocoa, and start writing your letter today!
