Holiday Etiquette ( some things to keep in mind)

Tweet

Growing up, I was always intrigued by etiquette rules in society. Whether or not I practiced them every day of my life is another story, but there is some interesting facts about etiquette that can be quite interesting. Since holidays are fastly approaching us, I thought it would be a great idea to see what Emily Post has to say about regiving gifts you never really wanted in the first place, do you need to send thank you notes for christmas presents, and other questions you might have on holiday receving and giving. Emily says that you do not need to send a thank you note if you can thank the one who gave the gift in person. If the gift was sent, then you should send a thank you note. The main reason for this is so that the person knows you received the gift. You may also Email your christmas wishes to those that you know are online instead of sending them an actual card. Although, some may still prefer to recieve the cards in the mail as they know you took the time to send them a little special greeting snail mail. Are you planning on regifting? Emily says that this should be done rarely and only under specific criteria. Your gift must be something the recipient will want. The gift is brand new and still in original box. (No cast-offs allowed) The gift is not hand-made or the original giver did not take great care to select the gift for you. http://www.emilypost.com/ I have listed Emily Posts website so that if you have other etiquette questions, you can go and find your answers.
