Christmas Newsletter Names & Ideas
Writing and sending out a Christmas newsletter is a popular practice because it provides the opportunity to reflect on the highlights of the previous year and update family and friends on all that has happened in your life. Also, it offers a chance to exercise both visual and literary creativity as you write the newsletter content, design the colors and layout, and select the photos. Take Christmas newsletter naming and content inspiration from the practices and icons of the holiday.

Family Newspaper Name
-
Snap photos of your Christmas preparations for possible newsletter use. Name your Christmas newsletter in a way that combines a Christmas reference with your last name, your family's last name, the name of the town you live in or the name of the religious institution you attend and a typical newspaper-name word. For example, you could call your newsletter "The Jones Family Winter Tribune" or "The Medford Christmas Gazette." Alternately, you could omit the Christmas reference and simply call your newsletter something like "The Lopez Family Times."
Themed Newsletter
-
Be mindful that not all newsletter recipients will be sports fans. Plan your Christmas newsletter with a theme that resonates with your entire family, whether that be soccer, gardening or your recent ski vacation. For example, you could call your newsletter "Our Trip to Pine Tree Ski Lodge" and create three sections totaling one page (the recommended length for a holiday newsletter, according to an HP article called "Create Your Own Holiday Newsletter"), each section focused on a different aspect of your vacation. One section could focus on someone learning a new technique or trying a new activity for the first time. Another could comprise a photo collage or a single, striking photo from your vacation printed large.
-
Pet Update
-
Include a holiday-themed, newspaper-columnist-style photo of your pet with the article. Include an update about your pet in the Christmas newsletter. You could write it like a newspaper excerpt, giving the basic information about what your pet has been up to (learning a new trick, falling in love with a new treat or reaching a milestone age) or write the update as if from your pet's point of view. This would make a particularly fun assignment for a young child.
Gratitude Notes
-
Christmas is a good time for expressing gratitude. Add a section of your newsletter where you and each member of your family shares something or someone for which they are grateful this holiday season. Expressing your gratitude is not only a good way to remember what is positive in your life, it also inspires the people who read your holiday newsletter to consider what they are grateful for.
