The letters and Christmas Gifts they had sent out soon received replies. Adults were not particularly insistent on receiving gifts on Christmas itself; in the end, exchanging letters and gifts was merely a way for both sides to maintain their relationship.
As return gifts, Albert also received a large batch of Christmas Gifts in advance, a considerable portion of which were books.
As for the letters, their contents were largely similar: marveling that Albert had actually managed to kill Voldemort, or discussing the Defence Against the Dark Arts Guide.
Of course, some people learned from Albert's letters that he intended to begin traveling around the world, so they introduced worthwhile places to visit in their own countries.
