"Hi! I'm Jessica Cain with Expert Village, and I'm going to be telling you how to write your thank yous for Christmas gifts. With all the technology these days with e-mails and e-cards, it's important not to forget the good old fashioned hand written thanks you notes. They tend to be a lot more meaningful when people receive. That's pretty much the point of writing a thank you note is so that the person truly understand how appreciative you are for their gift. Let's say for example that your aunt Karen got you a sweater and a gift card. You would first want to be sure that you personalize all of your thank yous with dear aunt Karen or hey aunt Karen. Just depending on how your relationship is with that person. I would say hey aunt Karen thanks so much for the Old Navy sweater. You might want to say how great the sweater fits or how you like the color, and also how you were shopping this season, you saw several other things that caught your eye that you'll spend your gift card on."
