It's that time of year again: Thank-you season! Writing thank you notes used to give me such anxiety. I remember being in elementary school and dreading the day after Christmas when my mom would sit me down with a pen and blank cards. I never knew what to write and I always hated my handwriting. Now that I'm older, sending handwritten thank you notes has (weirdly enough) become a source of enjoyment. It's one of those meaningful gestures that don't take much time, but express significant appreciation.
After I pick out cute stationary & stamps, make a list of the gifts I received, and dig out my little black book of addresses, I am ready to start. To be efficient with thank you note writing, I follow a simple formula that has just four steps!
- ONE: Salutation
- TWO: Describe the gift & how you will use it
- THREE: Include a brief personal note
- FOUR: Closing and signature
And in the spirit of appreciation, I would like to personally thank anyone who takes
the time to read and comment on this blog! It really means a lot :)
Hi Ani! I stumbled on your blog clicking through other blogger's comments, and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw your post. I almost forgot to write thank you cards from Christmas! (Which, thanks to your reminder, are all done now!)
