Etiquette Boss: Old New Year etiquette practices
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wish you all a blessed and prosperous 2015.
As we welcome the new year, I thought it would be fun to look at some etiquette practices that we have left behind, and that which has become common practice.
Do you remember when it was considered a sign of ill breeding for a man to remain seated while a lady was standing? Likewise, it was poor etiquette for the lady to refuse the seat without a valid, stated reason. The 21st century woman is no longer seen as the weaker sex, but thankfully this practice still holds for the pregnant or elderly.
