Christmas is coming...
Mince pies, nativity plays, carol services and Santa specials... we're all locked in the annual maelstrom of Christmas cards, parties, holiday arrangements, present-buying, stocking up on seasonal goodies...
Here at Debrett's we're very aware that the pressure is on everyone to behave well on this much-hyped 'special day' and we have put together a comprehensive guide to Christmas Etiquette.

Five Gold Rings... |
|
Christmas is a time of year that tests manners to the limit. Social events, family occasions, hyper-excited children - it's a highly charged mix in which anticipation and goodwill can easily be transmuted into grumpiness and tension.
So why not have a look at The Twelve Rules of Christmas? We cover the whole range of Christmas challenges, from Christmas cards, office parties and mistletoe kissing to re-gifting, perfect presents, festive fun and thank yous.
If you're vexed by the Christmas tipping conundrum or irritated by boasting, impersonal round robins, we'll advise you on the recommended etiquette for all seasonal occasions.
Don't let the seasonal pressures grind you down. Armed with an impenetrable carapace of good manners, you should be able to relax and recapture some of that childhood magic...

Christmas is a time when home entertaining really comes into its own. Whether you're a host or a guest, now is the time to mind your manners.
Our Golden Rules for Christmas Guests and Hosts identify many of the main seasonal pitfalls and challenges.
As a Christmas host your Christmas juggling act will require deep reserves of tact and diplomacy, as you balance the conflicting needs of frenzied small children and seasoned older relatives. We offer advice on prioritising, accommodating different needs, asking for help when necessary, and not over-extending yourself.
As a Christmas guest, you will need to come laden with goodies and good will. The key to a good guest experience is flexibility and open-mindedness. Keeping your eyes open, being sensitive to potential pressure points and always being ready with a helping hand will help take some of the pressure off your frazzled host.
And of course the post-visit thank you letter is absolutely de rigueur.
