Get creative and bring back the art of letter writing on National Letter Writing Day - share your thoughts, feelings, and stories with loved ones!
Get ready to write some heartfelt letters on National Letter Writing Day, which falls on Dec. 7! This special day was created by the United States Postal Service in 2005 as a way to encourage people to rediscover the joy of putting pen to paper and connecting with friends, family and loved ones via personalized notes. It's also an opportunity for us all to reflect on our relationships and express our appreciation for those who support us.
Grab a pen, a piece of paper, and your favorite stationery and start writing. Whether you’re writing to a friend or family member, use this day as an opportunity to share your thoughts, memories, and words of encouragement.
Postcards are a great way to keep in touch with loved ones who live far away. Head over to your local post office or craft store and pick up some postcards then write something special on the back.
Gather up some friends or family members and organize a letter exchange where everyone writes letters to each other on National Letter Writing Day. It will be fun to see what each person comes up with!
If you want to get creative on National Letter Writing Day, consider making some homemade stationary from scrapbooking materials or even from magazine clippings. You can also create stationary on the computer for an extra special touch.
Write a letter to your favorite celebrity or public figure and let them know how much you appreciate their work. Who knows, they may even write back!
One of the best things about letter writing is that it's much more personal than sending an email or text. You can make your handwriting unique, choose fun paper and decorations to make your letter more interesting, and add a personal touch that you just can't replicate with technology!
Writing a letter and saving it will help keep those memories alive for years to come. You'll be able to look back at your letters and reflect on happier times together with friends and family members, which can bring a sense of comfort in difficult times.
The process of putting pen to paper and expressing yourself through letter writing can be incredibly calming and therapeutic. It gives you an opportunity to step away from screens and everyday distractions, clear your head, and focus all your energy on the task at hand.
