Write some Christmas gifts this year!

Christmas card

One year for Mother’s Day, my son Ben wrote me a long, sappy letter dripping with affection andĀ appreciation. I’m sure he figured that if he was sentimental enough, I wouldn’t notice that he didn’t get me a gift.

Know what? He was right!

Sometimes, the best present isn’t wrapped up in a box. It’s the genuine expression of love and appreciation that you tuck into an envelope in the form of a special note or letter.

Not sure who or how? My friend Susan sent me a great link with some ideas. This week, sit down as a family with a box of special stationery, stickers, colored pens, and rubber stampsĀ and write some notes to a few extra-special people in your lives.

Here’s a chance to make writing truly practical. Get started here!

Greetings Write Minders,
Recently my partner and I created a new website offering our first children’s story–The Christmas Scarecrow–and accompanying activity kit. I’m looking for genuine reviews and critiques. I would be happy to send a complimentary copy your way for your review and feedback.

I’m happy to find your site and plan to refer to it regularly. With respect, Tamara
