去長輩家作客要帶些什麼東西比較好?

今年的耶誕夜
有位台灣來的長輩邀請我們去他家作客
雖然他是台灣人,但是他已經在加拿大住很久了..感覺應該已經有點加拿大人的風格
這應該算是我來加拿大第一次正式去長輩家拜訪
所以有些問題想要請教大家

1. 請問大家會建議伴手禮要帶什麼呢?

2. 幾點到人家家裡比較好?

3. 幾點離開?

4. 有沒有其他要注意的禮節?

如果是一般台灣人我的煩惱倒不會很多
但是上課時曾經聽過我們老師說加拿大這邊作客有一些禮節要遵守
所以現在搞的我有點七上八下的

請知道的人給我一點建議吧
謝啦^^

    帶一罐紅酒/白酒是最不容易出錯的伴手禮啦,至於幾點到,就差不多是人家告知那個時間就可以了,幾點離開就看你們/其他人的動作,如果6:30開始,3hr的吃吃喝喝也好像差不多了~
    Have fun!!:P

    謝謝大頭
    可是我最近胃痛不能喝酒
    那我帶酒去會不會很奇怪
    不知道拿餅乾禮盒OK嗎?

    沒錯~ 如果你知道對方是有喝酒的話就帶一瓶紅酒去囉^^ 通常不知道選什麼的話就到LCBO的Vintage section去挑. Vintage通常都是不錯的.
    要不然你可以問他們準備什麼樣的食物, 比如說西式的話 妳可以主動說妳帶一些bread & cheese來配也不錯^^
    禮物的話我覺得倒是不用, 因為帶禮物反而其他客人也許會覺得自己失禮 😛

    現在問人家準備什麼食物會不會失禮?
    畢竟是長輩
    如果是平輩就沒關係
    不知道可不可以送餅乾禮盒之類的?
    這樣會怪嗎?

    Ivy,
    I think it’s ok to bring wine, even if you don’t drink it 🙂
    Sometimes they will open the wine with dinner, but sometimes they will keep it for themselves~ it’s just a gesture 🙂
    If you think they are more canadianized, I would say just bring a nice bottle of wine instead of cookies gift set.. it’ll be more useful 😛
    But if you don’t think they drink wine, then cookies should be fine then^^

    唉悠怎麼大家想的都跟我一樣,被搶先講走了,我第一個念頭也是帶紅酒或白酒之類的呢,反正送禮是心意,你不喝也沒關係阿,至於時間或許你可以問問老師,或斟酌看情況,去的時間就問對方長輩,幾點方便過去呢?等等,祝你玩的愉快喔.

    我想我會帶餅乾吧
    充滿台灣味的餅乾^^

    巧克力也不錯哦~或是綜合禮餅.
    什麼時候離開,看人家吧~
    有些老外飯後甜點喝茶是必須的.
    不過就算他在加拿大住再久,也是台灣人嘍~
    所以華人禮節也稍微多注意一下嘍^^"

    Sometimes, a bottle of wine with a small pot of Poinsettia type of seasonal plant would be a good idea. (Bring a bottle of white wine if you know you will be having turkey dinner or sea food. A bottle of red for red meat.) It is all right to call them in advance and ask when you are expected to be there. It is important to be on time! Not too early or too late. Often, a Canadian family would calculate the exact timing for cooking a big dish such as a big turkey. (It takes hours to cook a big bird.) As for when to leave, it really depends on the size of the party. People usually stay up late for Christmas eve. If dinner starts at 6:00 or 7:00, then it probably will last till past 10:00 or 11:00. If they are seniors and the party size is small, it might be a good idea to offer to help clean up after dinner. They probably would decline your offer anyway, but it is always nice to help. They would appreciate your offer.

    Some pre-wrapped gift baskets are nice to give. You can find cheese & jam baskets, wine baskets, hot chocolate baskets in a lot of places.
