Because of the way holiday dates fall this year, when you get back from Thanksgiving holiday, it will already be December. That creates a short time frame for those making and buying holiday gifts for friends and loved ones. For those who are planning on putting holiday packages in the mail, here are upcoming recommended send-by dates for expected delivery before Christmas, December 25th.
Recommended send-by dates for holiday mail and packages:
