Well, we are 16 days into this year and so far I have managed just two shows of thanks – one was last week, when I returned some faulty bits to The Beader, along with a quick scribble of thanks and the second is about to hit the mail box shortly in thanks to Girlfriend M who sent me this great link with some timely advice. I would like to think that she is one of my number 4's!
Now, I could cheat and use Christmas as an excuse to send a heap of thank you's and catch up on the other 14 days. To me, that sort of defeats the point. It is good manners to say thank you for gifts. So I'm going to bite the bullet and find 14 things to say thank you for … and write my Christmas thank you's as well.
So, what do you think? Am I fighting a losing battle? Does anyone bother with thank you notes any more? What would you think if YOU got a thank you note?
Not so much notes, but I do try to send thank you emails or make calls.
Good to hear, about one week Post Office to Post Office. Good service all round.
Let me echo those above — courtesy has really gotten weak in the world today, "Thank You" is a perfect place to start. I can't even imagine that the parents of today are not instilling this common courtesy of thanking someone. And I work in a store, where I thank the customers, and they thank me, and my response is, "You're welcome," not "No problem," or " Sure," or some other less-courteous inanity. Thanks for speaking out!!
Never a truer word written Judith. When did life become so busy? Common courtesy costs nothing.
