Since Millie has been taking up my mornings, I am writing the photo of the day post closer to noon. I might end up with a High Noon quote or I just might schedule it each day.
Today's question: Is it proper etiquette to send thank you cards for Christmas gifts?
Here's the answer from Maralee McKee who is dedicated to helping you become the person you most want to be, particularly when it comes to contemporary etiquette, manners, and so on:
You could send a thank you note to everyone who gave you a Christmas gift, but it's not necessary if you thanked them in person. However, there are three persons you really should write an after-Christmas thank you note to.
Not only does Maralee McKee, The Etiquette School of America say you could, she says you should, write thank you cards to:
1. Persons who've made a positive impact in your life
2. Persons you work with personally and professionally
3. For any gift you received or party you attended but haven't thanked the person yet.
And she instructs us to do it in hand-writing.
That's the tough part: I will have to learn to write again. It seems odd to have lost a skill within my own lifetime - not any skill, but a daily living skill considered critical.
I have lots of Christmas images. This one is peeling paint on the side of a transport truck at Vineland Research when they were building the big greenhouses. They are seeking to hybridize tastier winter greenhouse tomatoes. You can see them in the dumpster - perfect little red tomatoes - hundreds of them. I've been told to leave them there by one of the researchers who works there.
