Something my dad used to do when my sister and I went off to college, which would also work for long distance grandparents, aunts & uncles etc... is he wrote a weekly letter and sent a copy to each of us. By writing every week, we got all the little details and we knew which day to look for it in the mailbox. My kids are used to e-mail and such, so they get really excited when they get mail. An upside for my dad was he stuck each letter in a binder--instant journal!
