DH and I disagree on this. He doesn't think we need to do thank you notes for Christmas gifts from our parents/siblings. Most of the gifts were for DD since we all decided to just do kids this year.
I don't think it's expected, but I always send thank you notes to family members that gave us significant gifts (more than $30ish). I think it's a nice thing to do and that people don't send thank you notes near often enough.
my "rule of thumb" is that if they were there to give the gift in person then no note is needed. if its from parents or siblings a phone call is plenty. but if its from aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, friends... and they were not there to physically hand the gift over, then they get a note. but i'm a little old fashioned on the TY notes..

I send thank you notes for everything... if someone put time, money, or their heart into buying or making something for me or my babies, I always send a thank you (despite if we got it in person/thru the mail etc.) I don't know, my mom always had us write thank you notes growing up and I just kept that with me. I never get any from my IL's or nieces and nephes etc and so I feel they think I go overboard with it... but I just want people to know we appreciate it! Not to mention when you get one, it makes ya feel good

Same here. If the gift is opened in front of them (except for showers), then I don't send a note.

Re: TY notes for xmas gifts???

Me too.
I only do thank you notes if I don't thank them in person (if they send it by mail or through someone else).
