Ok...did you get some cool stuff for Christmas or Hanukah? Did you get some geeky presents?
Whether you liked your gifts or not, it's time to write a thank you note. Even though we're all online or on the cell phone, there is still no substitute for the handwritten thank you note. Here's why: it tells someone that you care about them enough to take the time and spend the money on the paper and stamp.
Email and text messages are fine for quick messages but there is something enduring about a handwritten thank you note. Right now along with a few photos (not nearly enough) and lots of wonderful memories, all I have left of my best friend are the thank you notes she wrote me over the years.
She was the Queen of Thank You Notes and really was my thank you note teacher. But I treasure those notes more than you imagine because she took the time to tell me what she really thought about things. I love seeing her tiny neat handwriting and I'm so glad she took the time to share how she appreciated our friendship.
Thank you notes are still the right thing to do in the work world too. More on that later...time to get busy writing those holiday thank you notes...(which is what i need to do as soon as i get home from the coffee shop where I'm writing this!)
