Teaching Adult Grandchildren Gratitude?

What can I do to teach my adult grandchildren to say thank you verbally, for Christmas gifts of gift cards, etc. Their parents say it, they do not.

I don't think you can teach them at this point. I'm sorry. My guess is they were taught when they were younger and they just choose not to.

Gratitude unexpressed is gratitude unfelt, IMO. You are under no obligation - morally, socially, or otherwise, to gift your adult grandchildren. I suggest using the money to give to people less priveleged who actually are grateful for gifts.

It seems unlikely the ingrates will miss them, and if they do, just explain it didn't seem they actually wanted those things.
