Show your friends and relatives how much you are enjoying the presents they gave you this holiday season with a Holiday Thank You Book.

Getting Started

1. When opening presents this year, make a list of each gift you receive as well as the friend or relative that gave it to you.
2. In the days following Christmas, take pictures of you or your children using each gift that was received.
3. In a word document, make a list of the gifts each family member received and the person who gave them the gift.
4. Next, ask each family member to write a brief note about how they are using/enjoying the gift and include this note in the word document
5. Then, take a picture of each person playing with, wearing, using, or eating each gift that was received. Add these pictures to a new folder so that they will be easy to add to a new book in Picaboo.

Creating Your Holiday Thank You Book

1. Create a new book in Picaboo and select the Photo Journal Theme.
2. Add the pictures of your family members enjoying their holiday gifts to your book.
3. Organize the photos within your book according to the friends or relatives who gave your family gifts. For example you might devote one page spread to gifts from grandma and grandpa and include pictures of each family member enjoying the gifts that grandma and grandpa gave them.
4. Along with pictures of each gift, paste the thank you note from each family member into a text box on the page.
5. Complete your book with festive backgrounds and share a copy online with everyone you'd like to thank using the Picaboo Share function.

Your friends and relatives will love seeing pictures of you enjoying the gifts they gave you this year and will treasure reading through your thank you notes again and again.
