How many have you got to write?
I’d go with something much simpler (and shorter) like “Merry Christmas from Will (weekend paper boy)”
No point putting “ To Number [insert number here]” IMO, they’ll know it’s for them because you’ll put it through their letterbox!2.22kWp Solar PV system installed Oct 2010, Fronius IG20 Inverter, south facing (-5 deg), 30 degree pitch, no shadingEverything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the endMFW #4 OPs: 2018 £866.89, 2019 £1322.33, 2020 £1337.07

That happened to me one year. First year of doing the round I walked away with over £100 in tip money - back in 78 that was BIG money
Following year, the newsagents asked for tips to be paid at the shop, we all got £10 each
I passed my round on to my sister and got a Saturday job0 -
Thank you all for the helpful replies! I didn't think about customers taking tips to the newsagent but realise now what could've happened to my Christmas tips so thanks again. I will just write:
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Make sure that you deliver them this weekend - but be prepared that people may miss the 'wekend' part so you may not get much as people may just leave a tip at some point in the week!All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0
