However . . . maybe next year I will do it and send it to those friends and family that just aren't Internet people.

I still, and you too, probably, have relatives/friends who haven't jumped on the blogging or social network bandwagon that would still love to know about the family. Besides, you are a writer now, you HAVE to do all you can to keep the written word alive! ;-)Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13791249950444252618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-57290729448204299002010-12-03T06:01:49.286-08:002010-12-03T06:01:49.286-08:00I am foregoing my mailed letter this year, but jus...I am foregoing my mailed letter this year, but just to simplify things. I have always written a "family letter" that I do not mail out. I keep it in our Christmas journal, for only our immediate family to read. It's mainly to record our year,and for the kids to be able to look back on someday. I can write about things that I might not want to write about in a mailed newsletter. And I can brag on my babies all I want without turning anyone off-HA! I'm like you, I love the tradition of pen and paper letters.PBKISSEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10449308468181637803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-2961618579080641062010-12-03T05:57:32.286-08:002010-12-03T05:57:32.286-08:00i think it depends how much of your christmas card...i think it depends how much of your christmas card list reads your blog. for me, i think most of ours doesn't. i'm also trying to make mine a bit more creative (not the traditional 'letter' format) and have info that i haven't shared on the blog so it's still fun to read for our readers. i don't know...let me know what you think when you get it! :)a new beginninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13182473221765750219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-69042712739583696782010-12-03T05:12:42.626-08:002010-12-03T05:12:42.626-08:00I'd write it.
