“At this most festive season of the year,” as they say in Dickens’s famous A Christmas Carol, it’s important to remember to thank those who make Christmas special for us: the clergy, music directors and musicians, the retail staff who project Infinite Patience, and especially those who are cooking and serving good food to us. Don’t forget to say thank you; it’s the Most Perfectly Proper thing you can do.
And with that, allow Etiquetteer to wish you a very happy, merry, and Perfectly Proper Christmas.
