Christmas etiquette poll If someone you don't particularly like gave you a Christmas card,would you feel obliged to give one back?

No, but I would thank them for the card.

In that case, I would either say nothing or tell her I could not accept the card.

I would just let it go. I would not give one to her. Just let it go with being kind when you see her.

From my feminist days, if a gent held a door for me I would thank him, and make sure I held the door for him at the next opportunity! With women, I might not be as insistent on equal door opening. Well, if they have a double stroller, I will go far out of my way to help at doors and other obstacles! Too many times people did not help me when mine were little! I really appreciated when courtesy was shown--instead of harassment for not helping zero population growth.

Every time I see someone with a baby carrier thingie (looks like a car-seat, but not?), a stroller, a wheelchair, walker, or cane I get the door(s). It just seems like the right thing to do, cuz sooner or later I'm going to be in one of those situations and I'd like someone to extend that same courtesy.

No, but I'm horrible at sending cards (and feeling oddly relieved at my slackerish ways after a quick memory-check "did I send any holiday cards this year? No? Excellent, then BBUK isn't talking about me.") Whew. Do you ever see this person? I might thank them the next time I saw them. Side poll? Does everyone send cards, and if so, do you make sure to get them out so they arrive before the holidays? (Brought on by one of my coworkers nearly having a heart attack a few weeks ago when she panicked that her cards and gifts wouldn't 'get there' by Christmas. Me? I like the post-holiday cards and gifts, because they make the good feelings last longer...)

We don't exchange cards at work This pre-dates my starting in the department. I sent more cards to the US than to UK addresses this year.

*Blushing* Thank you! I was just thinking that I had *your* address, but then you've moved! Trade? :)

Deal :-) I'll be moving the middle of January Will let you have the full address when I have it.

You found a place?

hurray!

and no nasty nasty neighbors, I hope.

the new neighbours won't have had any nasty gossip told to them about me by another nasty neighbour. And to be fair(which is one of my failings),I don't feel that the couple next door right now are nasty,just ignorant.

My cards are still sitting here. They will go soon. :)
