Tipping for Christmas
 

How much do you tip at Christmas for services such as lawn mowing, yard maintenance, housekeeping, paper delivery?

This topic comes up every year. You can do a search of last year's thread. But, to me, tipping at Christmas is a personal decision that needs no input from others, but I am sure many posters will provide it.

I agree with 123.
Anything given will be appreciated.

To each his own, why would you need a list?

Exactly. But, watch, this thread will go on ad nauseum.

Would be nice to know what others think is reasonable. Never met the paper delivery guy but he does get the job done.

No idea how many mailman service our boxes. He does manage to cram some rather larger and heavy boxes into the side panel so he doesn t have to deliver to our house.

You have had several comments with no answer. I would like to know as well.

do not forget the guys on the garbage trucks

Tips
 

I usually go with $20 for mail carrier and lawn guy and $10 each for the three refuse guys.

Here ya go
Mail service $10-20
Hair dressers for ladies 20-50
Barbers $10-20
Lawn guys $ 20
Ups / fedex if slot of delivery's $10
Remember if you can't afford it . At least give out boxes of cookies in or chocolate even easier are restaurants gift cards from burger king denny's or whatever. Don't forget h.o.a. or gifting servers at restaurants you go to every week ! Even dollar store items are appreciated .

I think tipping all these people is way over the top. They are all getting paid to do a job excluding waiters and waitresses.

20 bucks each

Scrooge. These people get paid minimum wage and restaurant servers exist on tips. We are in the middle of a pandemic where everyone is hurting. Please tip.
