post traditions!

dear readers

today i was thinking about how most people don't send letters and Christmas cards anymore and are turning to texts and emails to contact friends and family. i just love the excitement of opening a letter or card and not knowing who it's from. i have been sending letters to my friends recently, who i don't get to see very often and even though we text and call each other to catch up, there's just something special about a handwritten letter and personalising it with sketches and quotes. i really enjoy writing them too, all the memories come flooding back to me and this makes me smile and laugh. there is so much joy from from writing and receiving a letter, its a connection you both share forever. i keep all my letters and cards and i like to read them again and again, it nice to read times there are forgotten and the history behind letters that are hundreds of years old, completely fascinates me. i do love the Wallace and gromit stamps this year too. with emails and texts we end up deleting or losing them over time and so i just hope that we keep this tradition alive. :)

i wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year!

love from
