Kathy Hilton gave QVC viewers a behind-the-scenes look into how she gets into the holiday spirit in a new shop-along special, "Your Splendid Space," earlier this fall - and I've been following along ever since.

Restaurant patrons should not be asking such questions, but Miss Manners understands that they do and that appearing to be offended or unfriendly can have adverse consequences for both the business and your employment.
