OK, I will do my yearly hop up onto a soapbox.
You all know I am a mail carrier, right.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put your return address on your Christmas cards!
I shipped 6 cards off to dead letter yesterday because the addresses were years out of date (heck one just had RR2 which is a addressing system DECADES in the past), and there was no return address. Two of which were fat with photos.
It saddens us to have to do this and among ourselves we did find homes for many wrongly addressed cards, but sadly a lot are returned or shipped to dead letter like my 6 from yesterday. So if you are getting together with family and friends this season, take your address books and help each other update them.
