National Letter Writing Week

In the "Why didn't anybody tell me?" category, I just learned today that this week  (January 8th-14th) is National Letter Writing Week (in the U.S.) or Universal Letter-Writing Week according to the International Society of Friendship and Goodwill. 


So whether your goal is to promote universal friendship and goodwill, or to help save the U.S. Postal Service, or just to get off your tush  (actually, to get on your tush, but you know what I mean) and write some thank you letters for your holiday gifts, there is still time this week to get out those letters AND celebrate the week as you feel appropriate. (And if you wanted to extend the week to the 15th or later, since you had such short notice, I won't tell.)
