Do you agree with these rare exceptions?

My husband does too.

According to the Southern Living Facebook and Instagram audiences, were in the minority, but I digress.

Here are the rare occasions when our readers say its okay not to send a thank-you note.

When Is It Okay to Skip the Note?

I was in treatment for cancer.

I received gifts of food and other lovely gestures of kindness.

I started to write thank-you notes, but I didnt have the energy.

I truly was very grateful.

Same goes for friends who are grieving or recovering.

Large gifts require the same.

Other than these, a nice thank-you email or text should suffice.

But ALL gifts should be acknowledged.

So what do you think?

Is there ever an occasion where its acceptable to skip the note?
