[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had covid, DH was TDY, I could barely get the kids on the bus, much less remember to order gift cards. Do I sent them in January?[/quote]

I am guessing from your comment on the bus, that this is public school?

When my kids were in Catholic school, Christmas was the time when teachers got gifts.  It still wasn't an expectation.  But if you were going to give a gift at all, then Christmas was the logical time, and I probably would have sent something in Christmas paper in January.  If I wanted to be cute, I'd have my kid draw a card with some wise men on camels, and give it on the 6th with a note inside saying "sorry it took a while!"

But I am a public school teacher, and there is no expectation in public school that gifts will be connected to Christmas.  You don't need to give a gift at all, but if you want to give a gift, you can give it at Teacher Appreciation, or the end of the year, or in January and call it a "New Year's gift".  The same thing if it's a secular private school.

I wouldn't sweat this at all.[/quote]
