<p>I enjoy getting them but I’m never organized enough to put them together and send them out. This year, however, I did respond to the letter I received from my college roommate (actually one of her two sons has done their family letter for the last several years) with an update letter, I was so inspired by the one I received from her family. But I only sent it to her. It was newsy, chatty, full of joy and some sadness, and more than a few challenges over the last year. And it was very satisfying to put it together. It’s made me think that I should really take the time to do it next holiday season.</p>
