Yeah, damn getting snap it with it.

I said Emily Post Institute without popping my peas.

Pop-p-p-pap-pup.

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

Oh, that's all-fashioned.

Watch how Lizzie Post and Dan Post-Sanic.

Act as host and hostess.

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

On this episode of Awesome Etiquette, we answer your questions on smug responses to your

pregnancy announcement, how to handle your host's pets, fending off recurring questions about

when you are going to get a job,

and how to communicate that you're cutting down on Christmas gifts,

as well as how to turn down a date from a business contact.

All that plus a postscript segment on party hosting from Emily Post herself.

Awesome etiquette comes to you from the studios of Vermont Public Radio

and is proud to be a part of the Infinite Guest Network from American Public Media.

I'm Lizzie Post.

And I'm Dan Post-Sening from the Emily Post Institute.

New Year's resolutions. New Year's. New Year's. It's happening. It's this week.

It is. I love New Year's.

I do too. Yeah.
