I have never heard of a Christmas News Letter but there is a certain something, that tangible sense of excitement, upon receiving a physical object in the post rather than a cold, electronic e-mail. Not that I’m complaining about e-mails of course but a hand written letter can convey such a great number of emotions through what paper is used, the feel, the colour and even the smell, the style of writing and ink used or any personal customisation that has been added. As nice as the contents of an e-mail can be there is just that little something missing that letters possess.
Knowing that someone has taken the time to sit down and hand write a message, especially when e-mail is far more convenient, is a most heart warming feeling indeed.
