Post Office Deadlines for the Holidays

Yesterday I mailed some packages at the Post Office. The lady working at the counter was super nice and working hard. She said they have been putting in a lot of overtime at the post office to make sure our fruit cakes get where they are going in time for the holidays. There are limits though. Here are the deadlines for mailing stuff. I figure I stood in line and did my part. If it gets there in time for Christmas great. If not hey that is what they made the 12 Days of Christmas for isn't it?
