Am I the only one who finds the Thank You note printable absurd? Thank you notes can be a very simple three sentences: Thank you for XYZ. I am thankful for XYZ because…. I look forward to using XYZ in …. manner. Checking boxes on a printout seems a bit…. lazy? Maybe insincere? Certainly we can teach our children to take five minutes to say thank you, right? Am I totally off base here?
