Dear Queenie,
I have a list of friends and relatives that I send presents to on Christmas and their birthdays. Some of them send me presents too and most of them at least send me a card, but there are a few I never hear from at all.
Queenie, should I cut the ones I don’t hear from off my list?—Fed-up gift-giver
Dear Fed-up,
Spend your time and energy (and money) on the ones who let you know they appreciate it. You can also donate to hospitals and/or care organisations.
As for the ones you do not hear from, you can continue to send them a card or a hand-written note if you want to let them know they are not forgotten.
