100 Years of Thanks
100 ways of thanks 12 25
November 26, 2025

By Lucy Moll
Worship Anew Intern

Showing gratitude is an important skill to have during Christmastime and has been for centuries. For a fun throwback, how about using these old phrases to say thank you?

1920s – You’re the bee’s knees!
1930s – Much obliged!
1940s – That’s keen!
1950s – Thanks a million!
1960s – Groovy of you!
1970s – Right on!
1980s – You’re radical, thanks a bunch!
1990s – You rock!
2000s – ‘Preciate it!
2010s – You slay!
2020s – [Praying hands]

Other ways of saying thank you don’t even require words! You could send a card in the mail, make a flower arrangement, or simply smile.

What really matters is that you show your family and friends how much you appreciate them this Christmas season.
