Holiday Group Text Etiquette

The 2015 holiday season is here, whether you are ready or not. It's the time of year you are grateful to spend with friends and family, sharing those special moments and catching up on what has been missed during the year.

I love the holidays, but I HATE GROUP TEXT MESSAGES! It never fails, the morning of the holiday people feel the need to text everyone in their phone at the same time, within the same message sending their well wishes. Then everyone within that message starts to respond and those who don't have a group text function sends "who is this" individually.  😩😡👊 It's exasperating!

People- please stop! Every holiday, I feel the need to send a warning asking not to text & especially don't include me in your group messages. It's disrespectful to include a bunch of people you know in a group message that may not know each other. Before you send that group message, ask yourself this:

1) Does everyone in this group message know each other? If so...then group message may be appropriate.  If not, send individually.

2) Is it really necessary to text people when you're active on social media? More than likely, everyone you are texting has already ready your holiday wishes photo quote posted on FB, twitter, IG, SC, Kik, and all other outlets used.

3) Do you regularly speak with the people you're sending a message to? If not, don't text.

Be considerate of people's time.

Don't be that annoying friend or family member.

Be smart about sending group text, and remember to never include me 😉

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
