Merry Christmas!

I've decided to break with tradition today as this is the last post of 2011. Rather than feature a letter, I've chosen a couple of charming Christmas cards that were sent to family and friends, circa 1920, by Harry Houdini. They're both delightful.

I'm taking a short break now. Letters of Note — and Lists of Note, and Letterheady — will resume in 2012, at which point my batteries will have recharged. I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas.

P.S. I'll still be active on Twitter.

P.P.S. The Letters of Note book still isn't funded. Take a look and please help if you can!
