Some people send out letters during Christmas. There are many different elements that you can incorporate into such a correspondence.
Happenings with the children
Many people use their Christmas letters to discuss the precious moments of their kids during the year. If the children are in school, they may discuss specific lessons they have learned (i.e. Junior learned to spell his name this year!) You can list their favorite subjects and what they loved most about school. You can talk about how they did on their grades. You can also share extracurricular activities that your children were involved with. If your kids won any awards or did anything special such as performing in the school play then you can put it in there. If they are young, then you can talk about milestones that they reached such as first words, walking, etc.
Family happenings
Whether or not you have kids, you can discuss exciting happenings with your family. You can talk about the major things such as a move or even just smaller items such as a new television.
Share special messages
Some people like to inspire others with their Christmas letters. You can talk about the importance of family. You can discuss about the importance of positive thinking. You can talk about how much you cherish those around you. You can try to spread good advice to others.
A Christmas letter does not have to be from a single person. You can have everyone in the family write a part of it, including the children.
A letter can be more than all words. Instead you can incorporate some photographs. For instance, if you are sharing how well your little girl did in ballet class this year, then you can place in a little picture of her doing her recital. The combination of both may be very special to someone.
Many people make their Christmas letters somewhat personalized. One idea is to write out a generic portion about the items listed above. Since you want to share these things with everyone you can keep it the same. You can then leave room for a paragraph at the bottom to write out something special to a particular recipient. You can type it is so that it looks like a fluid part of the letter or you can handwrite it. Do not forget to sign the letter.
A Christmas letter can be very meaningful. The above points can get you started on this special message for you loved ones.
