According to many unofficial sources, the second week of January is known as "National Letter Writing Week." I'm sure somewhere out there is an explanation about who started it and what the exact dates of the observance are, but without the time to spend on all that research, we'll just be happy it's generating some interest in letter writing.
Some observers claim the "week" to be the literal second seven days in the month (that is, Jan. 8-14), no matter what days of the week they fall on. Others seem to claim the second full week (this year, that's Jan. 11-17) as the appropriate dates.
Whether today is the last day or the midway point of National Letter Writing Week, let's all use it to write another letter and encourage someone else to pick up their pen and join us in our love for correspondence.
