some bits o advice:

-always be pacific

-write how you speak. unless you are mute, then write how you think.

-correspond within, like, a week. or they might move.

-send a piece of gum in it or put your cologne/perfume on it if you want to really go for it.

-draw something crazy on the envelope for the mailman or woman.

-thank them for the time you spent together, memories you made over the holidays, and the joys of having them in your life– not only for the gift !!!

-re-read that lemony snicket part because I know you skipped it and that’s actually all of the knowledge that I have to pass on.
-say I love you, especially if you mean it
