We’re busy having so much fun during the holidays and then they’re done—only blahs and blues remain. If you want to sustain happiness after the holidays, learn from retailers. This sounds counterintuitive and crassly materialistic, but the core principles are not. Retailers know how to generate a buzz and keep it going. Do you?

Retailer’s start stocking the shelves in September and mailing out their holiday catalogues before Halloween even hits.

You’re home from the honeymoon and busily settling into your new life. There is much to do, including the loose ends to tie up concerning your recent marriage. Most important among those tasks is properly thanking those who generously celebrated with you.

Thank-You Notes
Never mind that old etiquette books say newlyweds have twelve months to mail thank you notes. There is no reason that it should take longer than two months to thank everyone who generously took the time to purchase a gift for you. To show your gratitude in a timely manner, start by sending out thank-you notes as soon as you receive gifts, including gifts received before the wedding. Open the gift and immediately sit down and write those cards!
