Sadly (IMO) those ways are dying. When I was a kid my mother would not let me go out and play after Christmas and birthdays until I’d hand written a thank you note for every gift. I hated it and the importance of it didn’t sink in for many years. My wife was raised the same way and we did the same thing with our boys. I still do it but don’t expect it from others anymore and haven’t in a long time. It used to be common manners like tipping your hat or standing for ladies but it is now a relic of another time. I’m not going to get worked up over it. Not a big deal I guess but I believe manners are an important building block of civil societyLast edited by jerp; 09-09-2021, 07:18 PM.

Face -to-face thank-you means more than a card, plus it cost the receiver money for cards and postage. And a "hug" at the next meeting means they are appreciative.
