{{Main|Round-robin letter}}
Some people take the annual mass-mailing of cards as an opportunity to update those they know with the year's events, and include the so-called "Christmas letter" reporting on the family's doings, sometimes running to multiple printed pages. In the UK these are known as [[round-robin letter]]s.<ref>{{cite web|title=Round Robins|url=http://www.debretts.com/etiquette/home-life/family-occasions/christmas/round-robins.aspx|publisher=Debrett's|access-date=10 January 2014|archive-date=10 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140110090257/http://www.debretts.com/etiquette/home-life/family-occasions/christmas/round-robins.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref> While a practical notion, Christmas letters meet with a mixed reception; recipients may take it as boring minutiae, bragging, or a combination of the two, whereas other people appreciate Christmas letters as more personal than mass-produced cards with a generic missive and an opportunity to "catch up" with the lives of family and friends who are rarely seen or communicated with. Since the letter will be received by both close and distant relatives, there is also the potential for the family members to object to how they are presented to others; an entire episode of ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'' was built around conflict over the content of just such a letter.
