Finally, after nearly half a month, the Christmas letter was here in hand. Yes, writing letters is how my friend in the US and I 11 our greetings every Christmas. People ask why not send our greetings on Facebook, or on WeChat 12 , and by the way, it’ll save money. For me, writing letters is more of a 13 habit than a quirk(怪癖)in modern times.

Such devices prevent people from 15 their inner(内心的)feelings. Compared with modern communication, writing letters has more advantages. 16 we write, our brain is given the chance to discover connections between things we didn’t see before. And we are 17 to show our emotions fully.
If I am here to tell you why I love writing letters, one of the 18 would be its sense of touch—feeling of my hand running through the pages, feeling of pen sliding across the paper, and feeling of the 19 of ink(墨水) in the air.
It 20 that both your words and the letter itself can help you express your feelings. Letters build a bridge between the writer and the receiver. People experience more when they receive messages in the form of a letter, rather than of any other mediA.
