Send a Note to a Friend Day

National Send A Note To A Friend Day on February 7th reminds us to send a note to someone we care about or to recognize the efforts of someone else. We do that by sending a note or message. Throughout the year, we often think about our friends, but how often do we give them a written message of appreciation?

Sending a card or note to someone for a variety of reasons dates back to ancient times. The Chinese would send elegantly designed messages as well as the Egyptians, though on different types of paper. During the Renaissance, greeting cards gained popularity for specific holidays and events. Victorian times increased the use of the greeting card for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, birthdays and more.

Take a moment today and send a note or message to someone to show your appreciation.
