Compile a newsletter

A wonderful tradition that my Australian Auntie Beth has followed for almost 30 years now is to enclose a short, single-page newsletter inside a Christmas card every year, keeping the whole family updated on the achievements and progress of the Australian branch of our family over the previous 12 months.

In addition, she always makes sure to enclose updated family photographs, and over time these have become a wonderful way of documenting and preserving the family story of our cousins overseas, and something that we look forward to receiving every year. A great idea, and one that is certainly appreciated by all of the recipients.
