(1)英文信函的习惯是开门见山，段落的第一个句子常常是该段落的主题句(topic sentence)，"i'd like to thank each of you for making my birthday a great day"很清楚地表达了写信的目的。类似的主题句还有:"thank you for spending so much time with me during my visit to your headquarters on monday."和"leon and i are so grateful for your kindness during our stay in your house last week."
(2)festive：过节似的、喜庆的、欢乐的
(3)decorations:此处指表示喜庆的装饰物，如气球、彩条，表示幽默的漫画等。
(4)be reluctant to: 不情愿的，舍不得的
(5)gift certificate：礼券
(6)generous: 丰厚的、丰盛的、大方的
(7)结尾时可以再次向对方表示感谢。类似的句子还有：thank you again for your time.thank you again for your generosity.
