The holiday season is an expensive time of year for us and tipping is one of the biggest expenses that we have to actually budget for.
Our list includes the paper carrier, mail carrier, hair dresser, dog groomer, housekeeper, lawn guy, pool guy, sanitation employees (if we can catch them), etc. I'm probably missing someone. It really adds up! I don't know how people living on just SS do it. Good thing we only do xmas gifting with two of our relatives - the rest are very low contact (for good reason.)
Also, after all the postal greeting card theft, we no longer send gift cards through the mail. If I can't hand it over personally, I guess I'll go back to impersonal checks.
Season's Greetings, y'all!
