Celebrate “National Thank You Note Day” on December 26 and show some appreciation for the people in your life ! This day was first proposed by a lady named Mary Brookhart in 1971, who believed that expressing thanks through writing letters was an important part of building relationships. It has since become an international holiday to recognize the importance of gratitude and kindness. The day recognizes the time-honored tradition of thanking people for their gifts, hospitality, and generosity. It is a day to get some note cards, paper, pen, envelopes, and stamps to write those special thank-yous. Taking the time to thank family and friends with a personalized message has special meaning. The receiver of the “thank-you” will enjoy getting the card in the mail and the message you have written. Personal messages also convey to friends and family a deeper, more intimate sentiment. These handwritten notes, however brief, carry a tactile expression of thanks that verbal communication often lacks.
