Christmas Love Letter
December 30, 2012 § 9 Comments
As you may remember, it’s fairly common around here for letters and notes to be found in out-of-the-ordinary places. Christmas day was no exception.
I must say, it was more than enough to open a box containing my very own desk-top sized card catalog manufactured by the Library Bureau circa 1915.
But then I opened the drawer with my name on it, too.
See that set of cards? On the back, each is numbered and contains a few words. Together, they make up a 106 card letter.
By way of explanation, my husband said, “You always ask for a love letter for Christmas, so I had to find something to put this year’s letter in.”
Yes, I do believe he wins the award for best envelope of the year.

Sweet! What a perfect gift.
Isn’t it though? He really gets me. :)
I LOVE this so much! This must be one of the best Christmas gifts I’ve ever seen or heard of. That husband is a keeper ;)
I quite agree on all points. ;)
Awww…
I found your site because you shared my post about Mike the Mailman and will be back often. I’ve moved a lot, and a big box of old letters always moves with me. And so does my wooden library box – like the one you show here! :-)
Welcome, Cathryn! Your site often brightens my day, so I’m flattered you’ve paid mine a visit. Your post about Mike the Mailman is one more item for my growing body of evidence that there is a high correlation between kindness and the mail.
Absolutely awesome! Running a tie with my having written all of my recipes by hand for each of my three children, two Christmases ago and packaged them all in basket recipe boxes. They said it was their best gift ever.
Awww…that’s such a sweet gift. The time and care it takes to record thoughts and memories (both of which are encompassed in family recipes) by hand make them more heartwarming and dear than anything that can be bought. What will you give them this year, I wonder?! :)
