★ 解析：

句首的Hereby, I also want to say thanks for your..．可以视为习惯用法，表示“在此，我还要感谢你……”。其中的hereby可以视为插入语或是状语，表示“因此，据此”。句中的thanks for..．可以视为固定用法，表示“感谢……”，也可以用作thanks to sb for...。

为了庆祝圣诞节，我们还推出了一个家居用品方面的客户答谢活动。

★ 解析：

In order to..., we also..．可以视为习惯用法，表示“为了……我们还……”。句首是目的状语in order to celebrate Christmas，也可以置于句末，表示“为了庆祝圣诞节”。其中的in order to do为固定用法，表示“为了……以便……”，相当于in order that...、so that...、so as to do；而节日名称Christmas是专有名词，不与任何冠词连用。

★ 套用：
