One of our family traditions every year (or shall I say mine??) is to write up a Christmas letter highlighting the past year. It is actually one of my favorite things to do this time of year!
And it’s not because I get to send one out to our friends & family. The truth is, I have a really neat book my Mom gave me several years ago that I keep all of our Christmas letters in each year. I started in 2009, so counting this year I have 5 letters. I really recommend this to those of you who like to look back at the past years. You can see where you were and where God has taken you! (and the truth is, no one that I send the letters to keeps them anyway) 🙂
Last year I found this really neat free template and the same lady created one for this year! I got creative using picmonkey, my favorite free online editing tool and made this Year in Review Christmas Letter personalized to fit our family.
