How to make it
1Number the envelopes
Write or stick a big number from 1 to 24 on each envelope.
2Write the notes
Write one small thing per slip: a joke, a memory, a phone call, a cookie day, a story about you as a kid.
3Fill the envelopes
Tuck a slip into each one. Add a sticker or a coin if you like.
4Seal them
Tuck the flaps in instead of licking them. They'll open again and again.
5Hang the line
Tie twine across a wall or window. Clip the envelopes on in order.
If you live apart, mail the calendar early. Then call each evening to open that day's envelope together.
