Meghan, Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are spending Christmas at home in Montecito, California

Meghan Markle is giving a glimpse into Christmas with her family in California.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, penned an email newsletter for her lifestyle brand, As ever, that arrived on the morning of Dec. 25, where she shared her plans for the holiday with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

"Last night, I was nibbling the remnants of our Christmas Eve feast (dim sum this year), wrapping a few last minute gifts, and tip toe-ing down the stairs with my husband to make sure ‘Santa’ had enjoyed his cookies and ‘the reindeer’ had eaten their carrots — anything to maintain the morning magic of Christmas through our children’s eyes," she wrote.

"I plan to spend today cuddled up with my family — maybe pajamas all day, some Scrabble or Sequence (or Candyland for the kids), music playing, candles flickering, dogs snoring, endless grazing; the laughter, the sidebars, the deep breaths (you know the ones), the fun, and the memories," she continued.

"I hope that whether you’re cozied up in your pajamas like we are, or dressed to the nines, whether you’re with a huge gathering, with your partner, your kids, or on your own — wherever you happen to find yourself today reading this note — that you know I am wishing you a very Merry Christmas, and all the blessings that come with it," Meghan continued, signing off, "From my family to yours - Happy Holidays!"

Meghan previously shared some of her holiday traditions o With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, which premiered on Netflix on Dec. 3.

In the hour-long special, the Duchess of Sussex made several Christmas crafts for her children, including Advent calendars, Christmas crackers (a popular British Christmas tradition) and a decorative plate with a mug to leave cookies and milk for Santa Claus.

Meghan added a personal touch for the festive crackers she made for Prince Harry, Archie and Lilibet, filling the paper with "a little love letter, a chocolate and little hat" for her husband, hamburger and red-themed goodies for her son and a lavender roller ball for her daughter.

“Living in the U.K., it’s just such a big part of [the culture over there]," she told hospitality expert Will Guidara about the tradition she continues in California.

"Typically, people cross their arms and do it. They sit around the table, and they all pull at the same time... It does feel really connected and sweet. The way that I started to know them was that they would always have a fortune cookie-sized joke or riddle and something sweet," she added about the activity.
