How's everybody's holiday mailing going? I've been pleasantly surprised.

I decided to mail at least two weeks early due to everything I've read about the post
office mail slowdown. But so far two of my first-class mailings have made it to their
destination in 4 days. This is embarrassing for me and I feel like I can't depend on
DeJoy to follow through on all his blustering. Ya just can't trust a Fascist!

Of course it does mean there's plenty of time now for the recipients to send return mail
to me with cards and monetary gifts. I'll see how that turns out.

in receiving items I've ordered online, although nothing serious especially since orders were placed early.

My main problem is a package I sent out Priority Mail on 12/7 that seems to have disappeared from the USPS system. The last and only tracking on it shows it was "Accepted" at my local post office...nothing beyond. It's not here, and it's not there, and it's a high value parcel containing five Christmas gifts for the grands. I personally went down to my local P.O. and spoke with a supervisor, who tells me his package is missing too. Big help there!

Good luck, everyone, and Merry Christmas!
