Christmas is coming up. Is there anyone that you tip at Christmas that you don't tip the rest of the year?

I can't think of anyone that I give a Christmas tip to. Maybe I just don't use enough services.

We usually give the paper guy and the mailman something, but I can't think of anyone else.

I usually give a cash tip to the postman and dustman at home if I catch them (but given my working hours, that's hit and miss now).

At work, I give a bottle of wine to regular suppliers, and normally the dustman too, but the only tip the dustman at my current site deserve is one on how to actually get rubbish into their dust truck... {rolleyes}

What is a dustman? Is that what we call the trashman? You're in the UK, aren't you Pamela?

Yes, a trashman, and yes, I am in the UK.

For Christmas, I tip the people who I know at my country club. I tip a person who helps me at the American Airlines Center where the Mavericks and Stars play. We usually get a gift for our daughter's teacher.

The trash men are now just guys who drive by in a truck, and the truck's mechanical arm dumps the trash for them. They usually don't even have to get out.

I go to a barbershop and don't have a particular barber there. It is family owned, but I give them Stars tickets when they want them.

I've never met my mailman.

I think that is pretty much it.
