QUESTIONS FROM THE WILDERNESS:
- Are pajamas an "intimate" gift that should only be given between spouses or between parents and children?
- What can I do about my mother who bought me patio furniture that I don't want?
- We were expecting a holiday card to contain money...should we tell the sender that it wasn't included in the envelope?
- Should we tell our best friends that we're planning on getting them a gift this year?
- What do I do about holiday tipping for a new cleaning person I only met for the first time today?
- I'm a teacher and have received more than a hundred gifts...do I have to send a thank you note to everyone?
