Washing Up
I was taught to always write a handwritten thank you note for presents and to do so immediately. And yet, I find that even at my age, fewer and fewer people are doing this and they are not teaching this form of ettiquette to their children (my nieces and nephews, for example).
Further, I have gotten e-mail thank yous which (I guess) is better than none for gifts.
But do you think that it is old-fashioned to want to receive a written thank you note for a present that you have sent? Sometimes, I get an in person thank you--which I think can suffice but I still was taught to always write a handwritten note.
Am the only one out there who still does this practise and believes in it?
