## How can AI help me write a family holiday letter?

Paste your rough notes into Gemini and ask for a one-page PDF letter. As of October 2026, you can edit that PDF right in the chat, so this fits you if you want to print or email a finished page. On a computer, expand it to full screen to type fixes. On your phone, PDF editing works too. Tell it to use only your notes, so it doesn't add events that didn't happen.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Make a one-page holiday letter as a PDF for our family, [YOUR FAMILY NAME, e.g. the Rivera family]. It goes to [WHO GETS IT, e.g. relatives and old friends].

Here are my rough notes on our year: [YOUR NOTES, e.g. new job, a move, Leo started kindergarten]

The tone should be [THE TONE, e.g. warm and a bit funny, never bragging]. Write it the way a real person writes to people they love, with short paragraphs and one small funny moment. Lay it out with a simple festive heading and room for a handwritten note at the bottom.

Only use what's in my notes. Don't invent events or details. If you need something else from me, ask me first.
```

## Step by step

1. Open Gemini and paste the prompt below with your notes from the year
2. Click the PDF preview and expand it to full screen
3. Highlight any section and tell Gemini what to change
4. Type small fixes yourself, then save the PDF and print it

## What you'll get

A one-page PDF letter in your family's voice, which you can edit in the chat and then print.
