Though the art and enjoyment of letter writing may have fallen by the wayside for some in favor of more immediate methods of communication, traditions of holiday cards, letters to Santa, and yearly newsletters persist. It makes sense, then, that December is Write A Friend Month! If you're looking for a reason to buy that set of calligraphy pens or personal wax seal, now is a great time to engage in your own correspondence. The extra effort required to pen a letter makes the gesture special; is there anyone who doesn't like receiving truly personal mail?
Watching falling snow from within the comforts of a cozy home can make anything feel romantic.
Whether you love snowy activities, romantic holiday movies, traveling for warmer weather, or any combination of wintry traditions, I hope the year-long wait has been worth it. Happy Holidays, and may your creative well never run dry!
