holiday letters
December family updates
Holiday letters are annual updates sent with greeting cards, typically around Christmas or New Year's, summarizing a family's year—new jobs, graduations, vacations, accomplishments.
The genre invites gentle mockery for its tendency toward relentless positivity and humble-bragging: Their holiday letter mentioned the beach house three times.
Also called Christmas letters or year-end letters.
