Does anyone write letters anymore?

I have to say that I can't remember the last time I actually wrote a letter. It's just so much easier to email or pick up the phone. It does save on stamps but I like the personal touch of a handwritten letter. Agree or disagree?

Yes I do write letters to friends because I find it more personal, and I think it takes more of an effort to write a letter. And of course I love getting a letter by snail mail - an actual letter instead of a bill/account that is. LOL

Write a Letter - Writing a letter is so much more personal and special than sending an email.
Personal letter are very nice to recieve, I think it shows that the person cared enough to sit down and write a handwritten letter. Unfortunatly, I think that with technology the way it is, handwritten letters have become a thing of the past.

I don't write letters anymore either, but my daughter writes to her friend all the time, since we moved away, they don't get to see each other no more.

That's a really hard thing to deal with. I've struggled so much with having to leave friends behind. Poor thing. :(

I still write actual letters, although not as often as I used to years ago before email became such a hit. But, I like to make cards and send handwritten notes. I agree with you that the personal touch of a handwritten letter is nice. I think it's also important to the person receiving it. They know that in today's world, you must really care or had them on your heart because you took the time to send it via snail mail. Thanks for asking, I haven't written one lately and it helped remind me that I need to and WHY I do that from time to time.

I agree. My mom gets so tickled when I do take the time to write or send a card. Thanks for replying!

I still write letters occasionally. It's always so nice to get a letter in a world of cell phones and computers. Everyone I send the letter to loves it. Once every 2 months or so I send out a bunch of letters to friends and family.

I do the same. Every now and again I'll just get in the mood to write. Luckily, no one has gone into shock from it yet. :)

Yeah, that's what I figured. I know my mom is pretty good about writing but she doesn't have a computer. I always tease her about getting one so we can email. :)

Farm Pic from the Princess Bride - This is one of my all time favorite movies.  It's got everything in it - romance, comedy, love.....
I love handwritten letters. The last one I wrote was maybe 2-3 weeks ago. I wrote a letter to my boyfriend & sent it with a few other things. When he was at bootcamp we wrote letters to eachother too (although that was the only form of communication at the time.) A good thing to do when writing a letter to your boyfriend, spray some of your perfume on it! It lasts & they really love it!
