Okay, so you give someone a Christmas gift and they give you a thank you card. I got one last year and it confused me (I had gotten a co-worker a gift and she gave me the card). Do you give thank you cards for Christmas gifts??? If so, what's the rule for or against? I want to do the right thing and thank people if that's the norm? So confused....

Usually if it family, and they are there when you open it.I never do. But if its a friend or co-worker, then yes, a thank-you card is needed to be written.

I don't see the need for a thank-you if there's an exchange of gifts. If someone gives you a gift and you don't give one back (not that you should in all situations), then send a thank-you card. It's Christmas, the season of giving, not giving and expecting a thank-you card. I don't think I've ever gotten a thank-you card for a Christmas gift.

Each gift received should have some form of Thank You in response to receiving the gift. The best rule is to send a Thank You note for each gift received no matter who from or what was received. Some etiquette rules say that a "Thank You" spoken at the moment of receiving the gift is enough if the gift is small or received during a children's birthday party.

I send out thank you notes to some people. I typically have my kids write one to their Grandparents and Uncles. And I am offended when my thoughtfulness is not recognized. Normally our Christmas celebrations, everyone is looking every which way to see everyone open gifts. It is easy to forget to say thank you, and it is easy to not hear a thank you.....therefore, I feel a Note later is a nice way to say you enjoy the gift you received, and how nice the throw looks on the couch, or how warm the gloves kept me in the snow storm, or how much the family loved the stew I made in the new crock pot...you get the picture :)
I may be wrong on my etiquette, but I think thank you's are deserved at Christmas, but then again, I think it would depend on the situation!

It is not neccesary to give a Thank you card for a Christmas gift. Especially a co-worker since exchanging gifts among co-workers is something the company suggests.

proper etiquette entails a thank you card for every person who gives you a gift. Some people don't give family thank you cards but proper etiquette would say to give them one also.

Wow. numerous those thoughts make me satisfied i don't pass out to state parks too oftentimes! once I path holiday that's greater often than not on the paths owned with the help of my driving instructor. The worst ingredient we see there are snowmobiles in a neighboring field interior the iciness, and the neighbor walking his dogs (who're o.k. behaved and don't even look on the horses). My instructor's dogs oftentimes save on with us on the paths and at times the horses spook at them, yet many times they are large. The couple of circumstances I even have long gone out to state parks, i chanced on that the bikers have been the biggest undertaking. they did not seem to comprehend that some horses look on the bike and picture 'horse-eating-monster' and freak out - and that they might basically holiday with the help of and not do something while the horse rears or greenbacks or takes to the air, and so on. The parks around right here do not enable motor autos on the paths and all dogs could desire to be on leashes (there are fastened patrols walking around on all the paths). the only time i've got ever witnessed an ''accident'' (when you consider that i've got by no skill been bucked, and so on. at a state park) grew to become into while my aunt and grandma's horses spooked because of the fact of a racoon. lol. They the two fell off. The horses ran. They limped to capture them mutually as we walked at the back of and laughed. =] (They have been ok!) with the help of how, me and my cousin have been walking my aunt's dogs at the back of the horses.

The proper way is to reciprocate the gift. Thank you cards are not necessary.
