[Verse 1]
Winter's come, break out the Christmas Tree
I'm so overjoyed hearing the sleigh bells ring
The atmosphere is full of love, listening to the children play
Loved ones reaching out to see if loved ones OK, yeah

[Chorus]
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of love
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of kisses
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of hugs, yeah
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of misses

[Verse 2]
All of the friends and family come bearing gifts
Hear the choir singing songs, everyone's full of cheer
Putting up all the lights gonna be so much fun
And everyone's reaching out to their loved ones
I'm talkin' 'bout…

[Chorus]
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of love, love
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of kisses, baby girl
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of hugs, yeah yeah
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of misses

[Bridge]
Christmas is all about coming together
We need to make Christmas last forever
So run and tell somebody to help somebody
That's looking for love
Wish that I could send the world letters

[Chorus]
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of love
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of kisses, yeah
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of hugs
Letters, Letters, Letters
Sending you a letter full of misses

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
