Holiday Blunders That You Don’t Wanna Make At Gatherings This Year
Spending the holidays with family and friends is always a blast, but it can be a bit stressful. Especially with family! Different families have different holiday traditions, but no matter where you’re spending the holidays, there are a few universal blunders you want to avoid.
Now, if you’re spending the holidays with your immediate family at your home, some of these ‘faux pas’ may be ok. But if you’re with a large group of people, you may want to avoid making a spectacle of yourself.
According to Daily Mail, a survey of 2-thousand people is revealing the top social blunders folks make this time of year that may be deemed a no-no when in the company of other people. For example, unbuttoning your pants or loosening your belt at the dinner table after eating too much is a tacky move. Big mistake, especially when dining at someone else’s home or in a restaurant.
Other Holiday Blunders Not To Make
If you’re wondering what not to do, here’s the entire list of the ‘faux pas’ that are seen as tacky during the holidays. Again, if it’s just your immediate family and you’re at your home, wearing pjs to dinner may be fine! But in the company of others, you may not want to make the below blunders.
The Top 10 Festive Faux Pas
- Wearing a cheesy/ugly Christmas sweater – 26%
- Regifting a Christmas present – 23%
- Undoing pants at the dinner table – 20%
- Not sending Christmas cards/thank you cards – 19%
- Wearing Christmas themed accessories – 15%
- Drinking too much – 15%
- Leaving the dinner table for a cigarette – 10%
- Not catering to vegetarians/ vegans – 9%
- Not plating the dinner nicely/correctly – 8%
- Not wrapping Christmas gifts – 7%
Of course, some folks are not concerned about what others think, and most of us have that one relative similar to ‘Cousin Eddie’ from the movie ‘Christmas Vacation’. LOL! All you can do is hope for the best, try and get through the day, and maybe have a cocktail! Merry Christmas!
