In case you missed National Thank You Note Day on December 26, we thought we'd focus today's Coffee Break on gratitude.

The purpose of the day is to write one note thanking someone in your life that wouldn't expect it – a librarian, server, mail deliverer or bus driver, for example.

But before you write your letter, send us your ideas for songs whose lyrics mention gratitude or saying thanks.

And our special thanks goes out to Lisa for the idea!

Songs Played

Sly and The Family Stone - Thank You Fah Lettin Me Be Mice Elf Again
Wayne Newton - Danke Schoen
Neko Case - Thanks a Lot
My Morning Jacket - Thank You Too
Gratitude - Beastie Boys
Styx - Mr. Roboto
(And the Golden Girls theme song of course)

Do you deserve a Coffee Break? We at The Current's Morning Show think you do, and we want to bring treats from Black: Coffee and Waffle Bar to your workplace. Let us know why you'd like a Coffee Break - or request your own idea for a future topic.
