This Christmas, when you are enjoying the company of family and friends and the warmth and joy of the holiday season, take a moment to keep a good thought for the men and women of the United States Postal Service. I worked for that organization for 15 years. I can tell you first hand that the employees of this agency have been working tirelessly since the day after Thanksgiving, ensuring that your cards and packages are delivered safely and accurately.
The tough thing is that they won't get the time we all get to enjoy the day. They will be in on Christmas night "cleaning up" after a month of working 12 hours a day. Most of them won't take a real rest until after New Year's.
They make a fairly substantial sacrifice, spending little time with their families so that the mail will go through and packages will be where they're supposed to be by Christmas Eve.
To all my former coworkers... it was a privilege working with you for all those years. Thank You.
