Tips For Promptly Sending Out Christmas Thank You Cards

Christmas is the time of year when presents truly set the tone

. Even though we may not want to admit it, Christmas presents from packs of socks to PlayStations really do drive the season. Granted, it's supposed to be about celebrating the birth of Christ, or celebrating the Jewish New Year or honoring African-American heritage, celebrating the holiday season with presents has become a tradition honored by virtually everyone. To express appreciation for all those gifts it's a good idea to send Christmas thank you cards so the giver knows you received the present and that you're acknowledging their gift. However, sending the thank you cards quickly is important as delaying may insult the person who sent you the gift.

Here are some great tips to help ensure you get your thank you cards sent out without wasting any time:

- First, when you receive a gift keep track of the gift tag. This will enable you to know who gave you which gift so you can express appreciation appropriately.

- After Christmas, the USPS mail traffic drops dramatically which means when you send out Christmas thank you cards, there won't be any delays by the post office. Having the cards on hand before Christmas means you can complete them and mail them ASAP.

- One easy way to hammer out a lot of thank you cards quickly is to buy blanks you can use in your printer. This makes them great looking and you'll be able to customize each one so you can express your appreciation for specific gifts from specific people. All it takes is downloading a template for the blanks for use in your favorite word processor and by using the word processor's mail merge functionality; your printer can spit out the thank you cards and envelopes in only a few minutes.

- Another way to minimize thank you card costs is to use post cards. They generally cost less than regular thank you cards but the post office charges less for postage.

- By sitting down and making a list of all the gifts and their givers, you'll simplify the process a lot since you'll have all the information you need to complete the cards all in one place.

- Send all your thank you cards out at the same time. This ensures you're not forgetting to send ones out for gifts that may've come to you late.

Great thank you cards for the gifts you received are almost as appreciated as the gifts themselves so sending them out quickly is important. Even though it may take a little time to send Christmas thank you cards, it will encourage gift givers to give gifts next year as well. It's a small token of your appreciation but when the person receives the thank you card, they know you really do appreciate their efforts.
