POLL: Do you send thank you cards?

9 years ago

After the avalanche of present giving and receiving that is Christmas, it's important to thank the generous people around us, and thank you cards are one way to do this.

But do you send thank you cards, or is it too traditional and stick to a phone-call instead? Vote in our poll and let us know!

Absolutely! thank you cards are so lovely to receive & especially after all the Christmas cards have come down to put them on the kitchen dresser is so uplifting. Many of my friends send them & I write them & hope it is not a dying art...teach your children well!

I email my thank yous, from dinner parties to presents or just to say thank you for being my friend.

POLL: How often do you change your cutting board?
Q

I never, ever change mine. I use a butcher block and a huge thick wooden cutting board, only taking care to keep my fruits from suddenly tasting like onions or garlic. Studies have shown that a wooden cutting board is naturally resistant to bacteria, so I scrape and then wash mine off with soap and water after use. All this absurd paranoia about cleanliness is the product of marketing, not science, and the supposedly more sterile plastic ones are actually much better petri dishes for bacterial growth, which is why they must be cleaned and disposed of regularly. Fine if you want to keep plastic cutting board manufacturers in China working, but not at all safer or cleaner.

Unfortunately, MRSA is all over, not just lurking in hospitals anymore. My nephew contracted it when he was about 18 months old. The doctors had strict guidelines to follow for prevention of further outbreaks for both him, and the entire family. My sister was told that everyone, not just families that are dealing with MRSA, should wash towels after every use with bleach as a means to kill any of the germs. bTW, my sister has always kept a spotless home, so it wasn't like this is a home with full of excessive germs.

I start taking my decorations down in the days after 2nd Jan but usually leave a few bits up until 5th of January, the evening of which, I (and the Church of England) consider to be Twelfth night. It seems logical to me that Christmas Day is the first Day of Christmas, and twelfth night is the last evening before Epiphany. It doesn't make any sense to me to start counting from Boxing Day but I know lots of people believe that it is the night of Epiphany is 12th night and you hear both dates used

thank you cards are always a delight to receive but I don't always write a thank you note, it could take the form of a call or an email.
