What family traditions do you carry on each year? Is it picking out an ornament for each child? Going to a live nativity? Making holiday goodies?
We like to do all of those I just mentioned, but one of my favorite traditions is writing up a Christmas letter each year. It’s a keepsake I love taking out when the holiday season approaches, adding to, and reading through all the past letters each and every year.
The past 2 years I have used printables from a lovely blog called Stonegable. This year I decided to borrow her layout and create my own.
I decided to go with a white background so it’ll use less ink and/or I can print them out on some nice stationary like this

What a cool way to write a X-mas letter. Wow, you’ve had an amazing year!!
Love it
This is adorable! Great way to do an xmas letter!.
Lovely. Thanks for sharing. Our holiday traditions – making holiday treats {usually homemade fudge, homemade marshmallows and baking cookies}, decorating the Christmas tree, making some sort of festive craft {this year we made ornaments out of pinecones, mod podge and epsom salt so they look like they have been snowed on}, and usually we decorate a gingerbread house.
very cool! too bad I already ordered my cards! This looks great!
What a lovely idea!

Love all your hard work and especially the peek at your family life and perspective on life, very encouraging and easy to relate to.
