Some of the kids we write to just ask for cards for their birthdays. For other kids, we get requests to write to them on a more regular basis. If your life is not full of action and adventure, it can be hard to think of what to write about in a letter or card! One thing I like to do is sometimes base my cards on random, wacky holidays, such as National Kazoo Day. Here is a list of some of the random, kid-friendly holidays in February. (There are a lot!)
