It's Never Too Early To Start Thinking About Thank You Notes!

So much work is put into preparing for the holidays and in the blink of an eyelash, they are over! Though it is tempting to wallow in our post-holiday haze, we still need to complete one more holiday task: writing thank you notes!

What I find is helpful is using all that pre-holiday excitement as momentum for the task at hand. When out shopping for holiday gifts, make a special point of picking up thank you notes. Pick out different ones for each of your children to give as stocking stuffers.

Better yet, let your little ones make their own thank you cards. It is a great way to recycle all those holiday cards! Just give them some scissors, construction paper, markers and glue and let creativity be their guide!

A photograph of your child holding up or interacting with their gift makes a great thank you! Enclose the photo in a traditional thank you note, make a card using printable photo paper, or simply write a heartfelt note on the back!

Quick Holiday Tip - Gift Receipts

Making sure holiday gift receipts don't get lost in all the wrapping and unwrapping can be a challenge! Try taping the receipt to the gift immediately after you purchase it. For clothing, I like to tape the receipt right to the tags. This will make sure the gift receipt stays put and saves the gift receiver the time needed to locate the receipt (or the embarrassment of asking the gift giver for the receipt!).
