During the Holiday Season it is a custom to thank those service providers who were very helpful to us during the year. Every circumstance is different as well as how often you used some services.
Here is a guide of Holiday Tipping for the most common services you may have received:
1) Babysitter: the amount she/he receives in one evening plus a gift from your child(ren).
2) Beauty Salon: it varies from $15 to $50 for each member of the staff, depending on who assisted you the most.
3) Children's Teachers: Check the school regulations. Do not give them cash, only gifts.
4) Personal Trainer: The cost of one session.
5) Mail Person: A gift of up to $20 (USA).

Rudeness
© by Kariëlle Samstad
During the holiday season rudeness seems to be at a high level.
Some examples of rude behaviors are:
1) Cutting into a checkout line at the store.
2) Speaking loudly on the cell phone, so everybody hears you.
3) Treating a service provider with arrogance.
4) Speaking obscenities in public places.
5) Not controlling your kids.
But, how do you react to rudeness?
Very simple: with kindness and courtesy.
Do not lose your temper and always keep control of your emotions and your feelings.
Remember, if you take it personal, you lose. So, don’t!
Assess the situation and don’t let rudeness be in control instead of you.
With your kindness and courtesy in control, everybody wins.
