It's not guilt. 
That's a really distorted and negative way of looking at it.

It's part of the spirit of the season. Being generous and giving.  Showing appreciation for someone who works for you, who makes your life easier.

People should be giving a note of appreciation at the very least. [/quote]

Please, tell me about the notes of appreciation you write or tips you give for your UPS and FedEx delivery guys, mail carrier, trash guys, janitors who clean your office overnight, dry cleaner, personal trainer or gym class instructor, pharmacist, and so on. [/quote]

I do tip some of these people. I tip [u]mail carrier[/u], the guy who picks up the dry cleaning from my house, and I'm thinking of doing a personal note and gift card to my yoga teacher. [/quote]

They are federal employees who are not allowed to accept cash tips for services. Look it up.  [/quote]

[i]Employee Tipping and Gift-Receiving Policy

All postal employees, including carriers, must comply with the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch. Under these federal regulations, carriers are permitted to accept a gift worth $20 or less from a customer per occasion, such as Christmas. However, cash and cash equivalents, such as checks or gift cards that can be exchanged for cash, must never be accepted in any amount. Furthermore, no employee may accept more than $50 worth of gifts from any one customer in any one calendar year period.
