An etiquette expert says never send eCards for Christmas, and avoid tacky Christmas cards like pictures of ice-skating nuns.

 

The expert says there’s an art of sending Christmas cards. Rules include never include your pet’s name; there's no need to write “To Sandy and David”, instead just write their names.

And he said make sure you include all of the names... even the kids.

How to correctly address the envelope:

  • Married couple - Mr & Mrs R. Smith
  • Unmarried man - H. Jones, Esq (if he owns property – Mr H. Jones, if not)
  • Unmarried woman - Miss C. Roberts (Ms is not used socially)
  • Widowed woman - Mrs R. Smith (R being the initial the late husband's first name)
  • Divorced woman - Mrs I. Smith (I being the initial from her first name)
  • Two men - Messers Cranshaw & Davidson
  • Two women - Miss Flinders & Miss Davis
