List: Who Should You Tip For The Holidays?

They take care of you, your kids, your pets, your hair, your mail, and your house year round. It may have never occurred to you to give them a little something extra for the holidays. Don't worry. You're not the only one.

A survey released by creditcards.com found that most American adults are reluctant when it come to holiday tipping for services.

In fact, 60% of people say they never tip their mail carrier, and 70% say they don't tip their trash and recycling collectors. Slightly less than half of 47% say they don't tip their child's teachers or caregivers, according to the survey results. (WILX)
