Do you or your children send out thank you notes at Christmas and for their birthday?
It is a requirement in this house, generally the rule here is you can't play with it until the thank you is written. This year we relaxed the rules and DS wrote out his thank you notes the next day.
We aren't as strict with the thank you notes when we are receiving the gift in person, but if a person sends us a gift and we don't open it in front of them we always send a thank you note. Unfortuneately many people do not and this drives me crazy. If I take the time to pick out a present and mail it to a person I think the least they can do is send a thank you or call to say thanks.
This year since we are so far away from family we had thank you cards made with DS's picture from shutterfly.com. Here is the picture we used, it had a holiday boarder, but I couldn't link it here, so this is the plain picture I started with:
So how about it, do you send thank you notes?
