With tomorrow officially bringing us to the Holiday Season, it got me thinking about a few things. For starters, I began thinking about the meaning behind the Thanksgiving holiday - gratitude. Since I am not able to welcome everyone dear to me to be at the same table at the same time I began to sort through ideas of how to express my gratitude to the people in my life for their abundant gifts of friendship. There is always the option of calling, sending an email or a text message which all seem to be acceptable among friends.
There are just a few challenges with these options. Telephone calls on a major holiday get tricky because everyone is juggling a dozen things including guests or being a guest which makes relaxed conversation of any sort a long shot at best. That leaves email and text messages and neither of these options convey the personal warmth that I would want to share with my thanks. That got me thinking about the old fashioned approach - letters! Most everyone has some old stationary or Thank You notes around their house, what better way to put them to good use than as a note of gratitude to those you hold dear?! If you don't have any hanging around waiting for a purpose, perhaps this could be a great excuse to check out some of the fantastic new designs and give yourself a little gift... 'tis the season for giving, after all!
Here are some of my new favorites!
