Maybe it's just that you don't know how to use social courtesy.

Oh, that's old-fashioned.

Watch how Lizzie Post and Dan Post Senate act as host and hostess.

They know that courtesy means showing respect, thinking of the other person, real friendliness.

Hello!

And welcome to awesome etiquette, where we explore modern etiquette through the lens of consideration,

respect, and honesty.

On today's show, we take your etiquette questions about invitation trepidation,

what's a lemon hater to do,

changing gift traditions, and post-wedding blues.

Plus, your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment on Thanksgiving

week, etiquette prep.

Coming up.

Awesome etiquette comes to you from the studios of Vermont Public Radio and is proud to be produced in Burlington, Vermont by the Emily Post Institute.

I'm Lizzie Post.

And I'm Dan Post Sending.

And Thanksgiving is coming.

Yeah, it's like four days away the day this airs.

And it's a big one.

It's like the biggest etiquette holiday of the year.

It's a very etiquettey holiday.

There's a lot around the table.
