I am confused about etiquette

We saw Quantum of Solace last night with DR and PF. The movie was really good but a bit long. The husband fell asleep in the theater. The only disappointing part was Daniel Craig was shirtless only once and you don't get to see him in a Speedo like Casino Royale. I actually like the new Bond much better- there is no cheesy kitsch to it at all; it's a kick ass action/spy picture.

Today we slept in pretty late- 9:30. We then cleaned up the apartment and went to a new place for brunch. It was very nice and is only one block from our apartment. The owners own another restaurant in town the was one block from our old apartment and we frequented that a often.

Tonight we are going to a Christmas party in the northern Jersey suburbs. The hosts are a couple we have known for a few years. The husband I met through my old job and got to be friends outside of work with him. His wife is from upstate too and she is fabulous. We attended their party last year and they came to our reception and house warming.

Tomorrow we are going to the Toys For Tots party for all the homos in the city. It is at Chelsea Piers and I have been to it once before I met the husband. It was a fun time. We are going to grab some dinner before hand with TK.

I guess I need to relearn some etiquette. We hosted the house warming and now we are getting thank you notes from some of our guests. I don't get that at all. I did not know you were bound to write a thank you note to the host of a party. We did receive some gifts and we wrote thank you notes to the people who brought them. I was discussing etiquette earlier this week with Mr. Barrett and thought I knew what I was talking about apparently not.

Thank you notes from guests was not uncommon in the past. Treat them as indications that they would like to do that again in the future. Or I guess add them to your christmas card list.
