raha asked:


i spent 2 weeks of holiday vacation (including xmas and new year) at my aunt’s house. I had a wonderful time; everyone was really courteous, and i got along really well with my cousins. However, i don’t know how to properly thank them. Phone calls, gifts, emails, letters…what should i do to show my appreciation? What should i say?
