How to Write a Family Newsletter for Christmas Cards
Writing a newsletter is a way to update your family and loved ones on your life. Including one in each Christmas card you send out is a holiday tradition in many families. It's much easier than writing individual notes in each Christmas card, especially if you have many to send out. Family newsletters are sometimes perceived as phony or cheesy. However, if also accompanied by a sincere and brief personal note on the card itself, the newsletters can be quite popular. There are some simple ways to create a nice family newsletter for your Christmas cards without jinxing your good news or causing family members to laugh at you.

Wrap the newsletter by creating a final paragraph focused entirely on your loved ones. While it's nice to hear all your wonderful news, people also like to know that you think about them once in a while. Depending on the tone of the newsletter, the final paragraph could include things like, "I heard that little Jane just had her baby. I can't believe how old we're getting." Be sure to include warm and loving holiday wishes to everyone.

Sign each newsletter with a pen in your own writing. Remember to also write something in each card. Just because you made a newsletter does not mean you get to leave your Christmas cards blank.
