Happy New Year From Operation Letters To Santa

It is hard to believe that yet another year has passed and that 2008 is upon us.

Be sure to visit Santa's website where you will find tons of New Year activities, games and crafts for the whole family. There are also New Year's coloring pages, traditional recipes, party drinks and so much more. Remember, our website is not just a Christmas site!

This New Years Eve, Americans who want to say "Happy New Year" to a U.S. soldier can send a text message straight to Times Square. "Operation New Year's Eve" charges cell phone customers 99 cents to send messages to soldiers overseas. Beginning Friday, December 28, 2007 the messages were being displayed on a video screen from the tallest building in Times Square. "To all our troops abroad: I wish you a peaceful tour and a safe and speedy return home. Thanks for all you do. Bob (NYC)," read one of the messages.

Soldiers can read the messages on the www.operationnewyearseve.org web site, created by Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. We think that this is a wonderful idea and urge our visitors to support our troops and send them our heartfelt thanks by wishing them a very safe New Year.

Happy New Year!

Free Thank You Notes Personalized With Your Own Name

At first glance, what thoughts come to your mind when you think of Christmas? Do you see brightly wrapped packages with glittery bows? The holidays are a wonderful time of giving and receiving. When was the last time you said "Thank You" to all of the people who make your life so good? Often, you meant to, but something else always seemed to have more priority.

It is important to write "Thank You" notes to all of your relatives and friends who thought so much of you during these holidays and all other occasions! So take some time before the New Year arrives to think about all of the people who've made you feel good all year.

What is a "Thank You" note?

It is a simple expression of gratitude telling the sender that you appreciate them for thinking of you. Mention the gift that they got you and let them know how much you appreciate their thoughtfulness in getting or making it for you.


I said "Thank You" when I received the gift!

It is always important to thank someone when they actually give you the gift. That being done, it is proper etiquette to send a written thank you note after you have opened the gift. Don't let the holidays get too far behind you. It is always a good idea to save the gift tags with the gift or make a list of the gifts that you received as soon as you can. This way you won't inadvertently leave anyone off of your list. Make this a family time. Ask your parents to help you make your list, gather up notepaper, envelopes and stamps. They very likely have "Thank You" notes to write as well, and this can be a very enjoyable time to sit at the table and enjoy recalling the wonders of the piles of gifts beneath the Christmas tree.

Can't I just email them?

Email is a wonderful tool for saying a quick thanks. However, you should send them a card, a note or a letter. You could send a virtual card, but it has no permanence. Give your loved ones something that can be saved and cherished. You can be very creative with your computer and make up your own designs for notes if you like. Be sure to sign it in your own hand though. Are you too young to write a note yourself? Do you like to draw or color? Sending "Thank You" notes on your own art will be greatly appreciated by the lucky recipient.
