A few years ago, I gathered up copies of all my Christmas letters since 2000, (there may have been ones before then but that’s all I could find), and put them in an album with the corresponding pictures with Santa. Whether or not anyone else is interested in my family’s doing, I treasure this year-in-review catalog of us. Writing and sending a letter once a year to people we have known for years and getting their letters in return is a pleasure I am not willing to give up yet.
I was an early adopter of Facebook, back when one had to have an email with a “edu” extension, but quickly tired of having to be creative in posting. Ditto for Twitter, etc. I waste enough time without using social media. I fear becoming consumed more than I fear missing out.
