As far as I am concerned, we are still celebrating Christmas (that whole 12 days of Christmas thing!)  However, that doesn't mean we don't have anything to do.

Today is a great time to write your Christmas thank yous.  You should send a thank you note to anyone who sent you a gift that you did not open in their presence.  So, if Aunt Tilly was at your house on Christmas and you opened her lovely handmade potholders while she was there, a thank you is not necessary.

For everyone else, you should hand-write a note.  Not an email.  Not a phone call.  Not a Facebook wall post.  An actual handwritten note sent snail mail.  Someone bothered to choose a gift and send it to you.  The least you can do is write a note of thanks. 

Do it today, before things get crazy and it slips your mind.
