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

Oh, that's old-fashioned.

Watch how Lizzie Post and...

...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 questions

on what to do when it's a shoes off household household, but the floors are filthy, differing gifting practices among siblings, and a wedding hosting dilemma.

For community members, your question of the week is about when to clear plates at a dinner party.

Plus your weekly etiquette challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment where I get to interview writer and teacher Andy Dennert on the topic of traditions.

Dan, I'm really excited about this, especially because Andy is a big, long time fan of the podcast.

All that's coming up.

Awesome. long-time fan of the podcast. All that's coming up. Awesome etiquette comes to you from the snowy studios of our home offices in Vermont and is

proudly produced by the Emily Post Institute. I'm Lizzie Post. And I'm Dan Post Sending.

Snow, snow, snow, snow. Cousin, there's so much snow. It's so lovely. I'm Dan Post Sending. Snow, snow, snow, snow.

Cousin, there's so much snow.

It's so lovely.

I'm so happy.

It's official.

It's a record snowfall.

Not in 25 years if we had this much delicious snow.

Oh, I am thrilled.
