Good manners and proper etiquette are always important below the Mason-Dixon, but they’re especially crucial during the Christmas season.

Southern Living Style Editor Betsy Cribb discusses manners during Christmas time, like when is a monogram appropriate? What's the best social media etiquette? How do you gracefully navigate all the holiday invitations? 

Be a good sport and participate in the Tacky Christmas Sweater party. And be sure your dirty Santa gift stays within the budget. Snail mail Christmas cards are still a good idea--much better than a social media "card."

Be polite! If you're a house guest, be a good guest. Bad gift? Say thank you and smile big. Merry Christmas and keep it classy!
