Who do you give a gift or tip to on the holidays for the things they do for you throughout the year? How much do you give? and when do you give it?

    Post office workers, my nail tech, my eyebrow lady, and waiters/waitresses. Those are just places I frequent though.

    Newspaper carrier and my 5 clerical staff at work. Although it's more like a little thank you for all your hard work gift than a tip for the clerks.

    Garbage guys and mail carriers aren't the same ones throughout the year.

    Did you at least include a Christmas card with a G note in it and let her go home after? If so, let me tell you about my housekeeping skills...

    Wow. This is a status thread if I ever read one.

    What does this mean?

    ETA: oh, you mean socioeconomic status. My stupid social media drowned brain was thinking a social status update thread and was confused. Lol.
