...do your children send out written Thank You notes?
...for some reason Thank You notes have become a bit passé - and I think they are still important - especially for children - it gives them pause to think about the giver and remember them and how special they are to that person - that they would take the time, effort and money to buy them a gift - just for them...
...so Scout designed his card and made those up assembly line style - a fun little project in itself - then he got his list of gifts and I got mine and we wrote our little notes - nothing elaborate - just a sincere little note of appreciation and thanks...
you're right, and we should probably do that too. i think it would be appreciated..?
ReplyDeletePretty notes, you are so nice to send them. Most people rely on a spoken thank you or an email now. Notes are special. MOM
ReplyDeleteI still write thank you notes too, and sometimes I feel like the only person left that does! Mr. M's mom thinks it is so sweet and she always writes me a thank you note back.. haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're instilling that value in Scout!
yeah, you guys do it right!
ReplyDeletelove, k
Thank you notes are always appreicated, what a great thing to teach your son!
ReplyDeleteYes we do, although probably not as often as we should, just birthdays and Christmas! I think letter writing generally is becoming a lost art, and its a nice tradition to keep!
ReplyDeleteI always write Thank You notes too. I love cards and know it's always appreciated. :)
ReplyDeleteWe do send out thank you notes on occasion - though less so now.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy getting a letter or handwritten note in the mail.
We're big on them here!

We do write thank you notes, though sometimes it's a bit of a delay between the receipt of the gift (usually money) and the written note. My children know that they won't be able to spend the money until they've written the note. After all, if they can't be bothered to thank their grandparents, I don't see why they should expect any more gifts.
ReplyDeleteoh. thank you notes.
ReplyDeleteyes. i try to always send a handwritten thank you note. and as my kiddos learn to write more proficiently, they will learn to write thank you notes. :)
