As the alcohol gets into the swing of things and we see people in our family who don\u2019t all share the same opinions as us on various subjects. That\u2019s why we thought we\u2019d make you (and ourselves) this little guide on how to be a gentleman at Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before the celebrations<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-38909\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sea-Sponge.jpg\" alt=\"Sea Sponge\" class=\"wp-image-38909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sea-Sponge.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sea-Sponge-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sea-Sponge-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sea-Sponge-114x114.jpg 114w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: The Groom Industries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to be well prepared and to manage your time. How long it will take you to take your shower or bath, the time to wash your face (we recommend Groom\u2019s products) and apply different creams, to be well shaved (look at yourself well in the mirror), to comb your hair, don\u2019t forget the deodorant, the perfume, to cut your nails well if you haven\u2019t had a manicure in the previous days. In short, don\u2019t neglect anything. Don\u2019t forget a gift for the guests, it\u2019s the least you can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose your clothes carefully<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-46601\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/James-Bond-Suit-Tom-Ford-Grey-and-Aston-Martin-V8-No-Time-To-Die.jpg\" alt=\"James-Bond---Suit-Tom-Ford-Grey-and-Aston-Martin-V8--No-Time-To-Diee\" class=\"wp-image-46601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/James-Bond-Suit-Tom-Ford-Grey-and-Aston-Martin-V8-No-Time-To-Die.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/James-Bond-Suit-Tom-Ford-Grey-and-Aston-Martin-V8-No-Time-To-Die-200x176.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">James Bond arriving in London in its Tom Ford Prince of Wales Grey suit with the Aston Martin V8 in No Time To Die<br>Photo : \u00a9 2021 DANJAQ, LLC et MGM.

A nice cashmere sweater over the shirt. Or a shirt with a jacket will be perfect. Or if it\u2019s a bit colder, a big wool pullover, but still classic. Forget the \u201cugly sweaters,\u201d it\u2019s not very gentlemanly. Don\u2019t forget your shoes, you don\u2019t want to be in stocking feet when there will probably be a mess at the party, you can put them in a heat bag, so they won\u2019t be cold when you arrive. Feel free to bring a small jacket or extra jumper if you think you might be cold. The latter can also be for the person accompanying you who is always cold. Also, given the difficult conditions at the moment, pack a small bag in case you can\u2019t leave the same evening, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to be a gentleman at Christmas: Before leaving<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-26256\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"258\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mercedes-Benz-G-Class-550-2020-Snow.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes-Benz G Class 550 2020 Snow\" class=\"wp-image-26256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mercedes-Benz-G-Class-550-2020-Snow.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mercedes-Benz-G-Class-550-2020-Snow-200x103.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Mercedes-Benz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warm up the car, unless it\u2019s electric, which won\u2019t do any good as the ignition is on immediately. Clear the snow, de-ice the windows, scrape the entrance so as not to get stuck (if you hadn\u2019t done so earlier). Don\u2019t forget the gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On the way<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-37751\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911.jpg\" alt=\"Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911\" class=\"wp-image-37751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911-416x277.jpg 416w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Arctic Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drive carefully, look at your route, use a GPS. Don\u2019t text or take pictures while driving, it\u2019s irresponsible and dangerous. You want to get to your festivities alive. Keep your eyes on the road. You can also take public transport or a taxi. All choices are good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When your arrive<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-46239 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Duo-Siberian-and-Oscietra-Antonius-Caviar.jpg\" alt=\"Duo-Siberian-and-Oscietra---Antonius-Caviar\" class=\"wp-image-46239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Duo-Siberian-and-Oscietra-Antonius-Caviar.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Duo-Siberian-and-Oscietra-Antonius-Caviar-200x261.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/oystersandcaviar.ca\/collections\/caviars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Antonius caviar<\/a> is an excellent host gift <br>Photo: Antonius Caviar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take off the coat of the person accompanying you and take care of it. Take the shoes out of the bag. Ask the host what to do with the gifts and coats, and don\u2019t be afraid to offer your help. Then give the gift to the hosts. Make sure it is the right time to give it. Find out how the evening will go and how the drinks work. Try to see where you will be seated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to be a gentleman at Christmas: During the party<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Table.jpg\" alt=\"How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas---Table\" class=\"wp-image-46788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Table.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Table-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Table-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask the hosts if they need help with the service. Don\u2019t impose, you are not at home (unless you are the host). In order to know how to use the utensils properly and in the right order, we <a href=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/en\/fine-dining\/guide-to-hosting-a-dinner-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have made a little guide perfect for this<\/a>. Don\u2019t hesitate to serve wine to people who are too far away to reach the bottles, by asking them first, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we\u2019re at the table and there\u2019s a lot of alcohol, sometimes things get heated. And we are persistent. This happens in the best families. Try to argue by not interrupting the person [in turn], by not diminishing them, and by not contradicting them. Don\u2019t pull out your phone to prove a point. By the way, the phone should remain closed all evening except for the photo function. Do not use the phone at the table.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Wine-service.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Wine-service.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Wine-service-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Wine-service-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t forget to drink water. Moderate drinking is certainly easier said than done. If you drink too much, remember not to drive at the end of the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, don\u2019t ask people if they are in a relationship or not, it\u2019s always awkward, especially if the person has just come out of a relationship and you don\u2019t know. If they want to talk about it, they won\u2019t mind saying so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">During the gifts giving<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Gift-giving.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Gift-giving.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Gift-giving-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re not six and a half years old anymore, you can wait to get your presents. Think of the younger ones who still believe in Father Christmas, and don\u2019t be that person who breaks the myth. Don\u2019t be shy about helping the younger ones put their presents together if they ask you to, you can offer yourself too, they might find you fun and cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The digestive<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-39987\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Remy-Martin-XO-Hands.jpg\" alt=\"R\u00e9my Martin-X.O.-Hands\" class=\"wp-image-39987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Remy-Martin-XO-Hands.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Remy-Martin-XO-Hands-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Remy-Martin-XO-Hands-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Remy-Martin-XO-Hands-114x114.jpg 114w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Remy-Martin-XO-Hands-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: R\u00e9my Martin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still thirsty or hungry? Wait until it is offered, it usually comes pretty quickly. If you\u2019ve been told to help yourself on arrival, that\u2019s another matter, but don\u2019t take the most expensive bottles in the bar unless they\u2019re offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, consume in moderation. Temper your comments and turn your tongues more than once before speaking. Anyway, you get the idea. No one wants a family squabble with people we\u2019ve seen too little of in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to be a gentleman at Christmas: The end of the evening<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Celebrations.jpg\" alt=\"How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas---Celebrations\" class=\"wp-image-46785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Celebrations.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Celebrations-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-be-a-gentleman-at-Christmas-Celebrations-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank everyone, especially the host. Write down the contact details of people you haven\u2019t seen in a while, send them a note in the next few days and put them on your list for a Christmas card for next year. If you don\u2019t think you\u2019re up to driving (you probably aren\u2019t), call a taxi or Operation Red Nose to get you around, no one wants the evening to end in disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before sleeping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have a big glass of water and go to bed.
