Dear Aunt Harriet,

Thank you for the red, orange, pink, green, purple, and blue-striped stocking cap. I love wearing a cozy rainbow on my head. It's an especially nice Christmas present because you made it. I'm sure I'll be the only one on the ski slope with such a neat hat!

Love,

Dear Trevor,

Congratulations on taking first place in the track meet! You should be very proud of all the ribbons you have won this season. I think you are going to be a star athlete in college.

Keep up the good work.

Love,

A cousin for receiving straight A's in math
An aunt on the birth of her first baby
A friend for remembering to return your favorite shirt
Your grandmother for retiring from work
A friend for completing a long-distance bike ride
