OK S/O Thank you notes for Christmas?

Mrs50%

Whaaa?!? Ok I value a thank you  note for events like weddings, showers, and birthday gifts.. (and even b day gifts I cut people slack)

But Christmas?! Seriously? I have never sent a thank you  note for Christmas gifts. (nor have I ever received one!)

 Raise your hand if you send thank you notes for Christmas.

Usually for Christmas gifts I am handed the gift by the person, I open it up in front of him/her, and I tell him/her thank you right then and there. 

If this happens, in any situation, I see no reason for a note.

Sometimes. If it was a mailed gift or one that was particularly generous or thoughtful. (Is it sad that I even have Christmasy thank you notes?)

If it's a situation where the gift giving is mutual I don't see the need for a thank you note.

I think that's a bit over the top. Granted, I don't usually receive Christmas gifts from anyone but immediate family but still. I have one friend who sends thank you notes for every tiny little thing (like hanging out one night, going to a party, etc.) and sometimes it makes me a little uncomfortable. I feel like I should send her a note thanking her for thanking me. It gets a bit ridiculous.?

My stance on thank-you notes is consistent for all occasions.

i guess this means i won't be getting any christmas presents from you.

I'll still send you a thank you note

I only get gifts for my birthday and Christmas from my parents and my H.

Does this mean I'm a loser?

I generally do not send thank-you cards for xmas gifts, since the gift is usually reciprocated with a gift to the gift-giver.

This is me.  But again, I'm a stationary whore.

The only reason why I may send a thank you card for Christmas is if we happen to get a gift in the mail for my daughter from some great aunt that lives out of state that we weren't expecting. Other than that, no.

My MIL writes thank you notes for everything so I feel the need to reciprocate even at Christmas.  I have a couple of friends who write thank you notes for everything so I end up sending them as well.  My family has never sent thank you notes to each other and we still don't.  My sister makes my nieces send thank you notes but I have noticed they are sporadic.

Never sent one but SIL sends us thank you cards for xmas presents they open with us on xmas eve...just seems a bit redundant to me to thank someone for the gift in person then send a thank you card.

My favorite one from her was the one we got last year where she thanked us for the IKEA gift card and commented "how did you guys know we were in need of IKEA furniture?"...um bc you told us thats what you wanted

You've got to be kidding me, TY cards for Christmas gifts as well?

Well, I usually exchange gifts in person and we always thank them once they hand it to us, once we open it and after they leave.  Isn't that enough "thanks"? 

However, if I did receive a parcel from someone unexpected, then (of course) I would send a gracious Thank You note.
