≡December 7, Letter Writing
December 7, Letter Writing Day, is a day that invites people to rediscover the art of writing letters. Although the origin of the holiday is uncertain, it seeks to revive this tradition and value calligraphy. The practice of writing letters dates back to ancient civilizations, where they were used on various surfaces, such as wood and metal, and became important historical records. With the advancement of technology, such as the telegraph and email, the habit of writing letters has declined. Letter Writing Day was created by the United States Postal Service in 2005 to encourage handwritten communication, promoting personal connections between friends and family. To celebrate, people are encouraged to write letters by hand and send them through the mail.
