Richard Louv, a columnist for the San Diego Union Tribune and author of The Web of Life once wrote a column about a family that, instead of presents, gives Christmas love letters to one another each year, listing twenty-five reasons why the person receiving the letter is loved or valued. It is his most widely requested column, and the idea has been picked up by a radio station in Los Angeles. “I decided that my family had better get on board, too,” he writes in The Web of Life.
