Ornament Exchange Etiquette Tip

When attending a Christmas Ornament Exchange Party, do not bring the Lenox China Keepsake Ornament that you received as a wedding gift 3 years ago.

Especially when said keepsake ornament is inscribed with "Our First Christmas, 2004" - Really. I am pretty sure you will be the only one in the room who the ornament would be suitable for...think about it.

Jump into your Honda, and instead of stopping at Starbucks for an Iced Caffe Mocha for you and a friend, swing by Pier One - or Crate and Barrel - or Hallmark - or even Target, and use that $7 or $8 to buy a tasteful bauble that the recipient will at least be tempted to place on their tree this year. Thanks.
