Create a Christmas Love LetterMaking the Holidays Even More Romantic
A Christmas love letter adds something no gift can - your heart in words.
Weave in the Season
"Use holiday metaphors naturally - warmth, light, home, gifts - they connect beautifully to love"
Reflect on the Year
"Christmas is a natural time to look back. Review your year together and celebrate the highlights"
Be the Best Gift
"Pair your letter with a gift, or let the letter BE the gift - words often mean more than anything wrapped"
Create a Tradition
"Start a tradition of exchanging Christmas love letters every year - they become a beautiful archive of your love story"
Christmas Love Letter Examples
Three styles for the holiday season
"Another Christmas together, and what a year it's been. In January, we survived that terrible ice storm (and that even worse argument about the thermostat). In April, you got the promotion you deserved. In July, we took that trip where everything went wrong and it was somehow perfect. And now it's December, and I'm sitting by the tree thinking about all of it - every fight, every laugh, every quiet evening. I'd relive every single day. Merry Christmas, my love. This year was ours, and next year will be even better."
"There's something about Christmas that makes me love you even more. Maybe it's the way the lights make your eyes shine. Maybe it's watching you get unreasonably excited about wrapping gifts. Maybe it's knowing that out of all the places in the world, you chose to spend Christmas Eve on this couch, with me, watching the same movie we watch every year. You are my Christmas magic. Not the decorations, not the snow, not the presents - you. Merry Christmas to the love of my life."
"Dear [name], Merry Christmas to the person who eats all the good chocolates from the advent calendar when I'm not looking. I know it's you. I've always known. And yet, here I am, still buying you one every year because the look on your face when you 'discover' it is worth every stolen truffle. Also, thank you for pretending to like my aunt's fruitcake. That level of acting deserves an Oscar and my eternal love. Here's to another holiday season of stealing each other's blankets, arguing about real vs. fake trees, and being each other's favorite person. I love you more than eggnog. And you KNOW how I feel about eggnog."
