Writing a Christmas Card
I'm 20/F.
This summer while I was working across the country from home, I became friends with a wonderful 68 year old man. He's kind of like the grandfather I never had. Of course, I'd like to keep in contact, but he doesn't use e-mail. So, I'm sending him a Christmas card.
Here's the problem: being newly introduced into adulthood, I've never sent a card in which I actually included an update on my life.
What sort of things do you write about in a Christmas card update? I'm already planning to mention my engagement, but other than that and school...
Sorry, I know I sound really stupid, but this is a new thing for me.
Thanks!

Well, an engagement is a big thing, have you told him about who you are engaged to? I'm sure he would be interested to know. That and school.
Tell him what has gone on in your life since you saw him last, tell him how you feel about him.
He is the grandfather you never had- that would make him feel good to know, and also what it is about him that makes you feel that way about him.
Even if you have already told him, it's always nice to hear again how much you impacted someone's life in a positive way.
Tell him about your family, how they are doing, and what you plan to do for Christmas.
Of course ask him how he is doing, what has happened since you saw him last, how his family is doing, and what he plans to do for Christmas.
Once you start writing it out, you will think of many things that you want to say to him.
