Winter Letters: Sharing Warm Hearts in a Cold Season

A letter to you on the first snow of winter. Though it's a cold season, we encourage each other with warm hearts—a winter penpal story that begins on Lettie.

Winter Letters: Sharing Warm Hearts in a Cold Season

On the Day of First Snow

Looking out the window, I see the first snow falling. White snowflakes slowly descend from the sky, painting the world white.

On days like this, I suddenly want to write a letter to someone. To you far away, to you I haven't met yet, I want to send warm greetings.

How is your winter?

Cold Season, Warm Hearts

Winter is cold. The weather, the wind, the nights are long and cold. But there are things that shine even brighter because it's winter.

Warmth You Can Only Feel in Winter

A warm cup of tea: Hot tea in cold air warms your entire body A cozy blanket: The small happiness of curling up under a blanket on a cold night Snowflakes by the window: The quiet moment of sitting by the window watching snow fall A warm letter: A heartfelt letter received in the cold season

The Warmth Letters Bring

Letters exchanged on Lettie pierce through winter's cold air to deliver warmth.

Wherever you are, however cold your winter may be, a single letter can warm your heart.

Letters on Winter Nights

On long winter nights, we spend more time alone. The sun sets early, and the nights are long.

But these long nights aren't all bad. They're also time to slowly organize your thoughts, reflect on the year, and write heartfelt letters.

What Makes Winter Night Letters Special

Honesty: In darkness, we become more truthful Depth: Long nights enable deep thoughts Comfort: On lonely nights, the feeling of being connected to someone Hope: Knowing that morning comes after the long night

The Season When Christmas Approaches

Christmas is approaching. Streets become decorated with lights, and carols play.

But not everyone is happy. For some, year-end is a time when loneliness feels even greater.

Year-End on Lettie

On Lettie, you're not alone. Somewhere in the world, there's a penpal waiting for you.

Year-end spent together: Far in distance, but close at heart Time to support each other: Together we overcome difficult times Hope for the new year: Together we welcome the new year True connection: Sharing hearts rather than gifts

Things I Want to Ask You

This winter, I want to ask you.

What color is your winter? For some it's white, for some it's warm orange, for others it's cold blue.

What warms you up on cold days? A warm drink? Your favorite music? A cozy space? Or someone's warm words?

What do you think about on winter nights? Do you reflect on the year? Plan for the new year? Or simply enjoy the quiet?

This winter, who do you want to write a letter to? An old friend? A new penpal? Or someone you haven't met yet?

Your Winter Journey on Lettie

Winter spent on Lettie is special.

First Winter Letter: A Greeting That Melts the Ice

A letter sent to a stranger you're meeting for the first time. An awkward but exciting moment.

Self-introduction: Brief but honest, who you are Winter story: What your winter is like, what you enjoy Curiosity: Sincere questions about the other person Warmth: A cold season, but with a warm heart

Second Winter Letter: Ice Slowly Melting

You've gotten to know each other a little. Conversation becomes natural.

Empathy: Empathizing with each other's experiences Sharing: Sharing favorite winter music, movies, books Comfort: Comforting each other if there are difficulties Support: Encouraging each other's dreams and goals

Third Winter Letter: Completely Melted Ice

Now you're becoming friends. You look forward to the letters.

Daily life: The comfort of sharing small everyday moments Honesty: Being able to show your true heart Humor: A relationship where you can laugh together Trust: Being able to rely on each other

Fourth Winter Letter: Warm Friendship

As you exchange letters, friendship deepens.

Deep conversations: Going beyond superficial talk Growing together: Learning and growing together Special moments: Welcoming Christmas and New Year together Gratitude: Being grateful for each other's presence

Fifth Winter Letter: Waiting for Spring

The long winter passes and spring approaches. But friendship continues regardless of season.

Memories: Reflecting on the winter spent together Anticipation: Excitement for the coming spring Promise: A promise to keep in touch Forever: Friendship beyond distance and time

Gifts Winter Gives

Winter is cold and dark. But there are things more precious because of winter.

The Value of Slowness

Winter makes everything slow. Nature and people slow down.

But that's good.

Letters exchanged on Lettie are also slow. Not instant. Requiring patience.

But within that waiting, friendship ripens.

The Beauty of Silence

Like the quietness of a snowy day, letters also have silence.

Escaping a noisy world: Quietly conveying hearts Deep thoughts: Carefully choosing words True communication: Sharing hearts, not surfaces Peace: The tranquility of the moment writing and reading letters

The Preciousness of Warmth

In cold winter, warmth is even more precious.

Even small warmth feels great: The power of one warm word Joy of sharing: Warmth shared is warmth doubled Interaction: Warmth given and received Continuity: Warm hearts that continue even as seasons change
