My entire family is visiting for the holidays. Germ fest?
Could be, especially since germs spread faster with relatives. People generally stand three feet apart from each other, but family members stand about a foot and a half apart, says Patricia Napier-Fitzpatrick, founder and president of the Etiquette School of New York. Share that fun fact while distributing disinfectant. (“Use hand sanitizer as stocking stuffers,” adds Rachel Isgar, owner of Please Pass the Manners, a Los Angeles-based etiquette school.) Also, swap out cloth bathroom hand towels and dinner napkins for decorative paper hand towels.
