Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Gift Exchange 2021

This new phenomenon unfortunately goes beyond the traditional spoke hub system. In an effort to make the postal service more solvent(I am not really buying that narrative), and according to insiders in the Union with whom I still have contact, overtime has been eliminated. Compounding the problem, of course, is COVID and the near destruction of career benefit track employment. Working there is no longer such a good deal. Also, in my day, a truck could leave without a full load under the auspices of timely delivery. Now, a truck has to be at one hundred percent capacity to move. The Post Office is in a death throe. My advice: If you want the service that so many Americans took for granted for so long, use UPS or FedEx same day or two day. And while your at it, get another job to afford the shipping. I appreciate your frustrations but we all allowed this to happen because we are politically complacent. Own it.

Merry Xmas [emoji1392]

OK, after that brief intermission, back to our regularly scheduled program.

I have just 1 more thing to pick up (locally) for my buddy and then I think I am done. 🎅🎁 Looking forward to seeing everyone's box opening again this year.

90% done shopping for my buddy. Got a few locally sourced items I want to get but I’ll have to wait for them to come available again.
 
My last gift arrived just now - off to Walmart for some wrapping paper because someone - not mentioning names @Rudolph - says that I have to wrap them. Personally, I think the Priority Mail box would look fine under the tree - .but no - I’ll follow the crowd and wrap it.

I don’t know how the postman will see the address through the wrapping paper - but Rudolph knows best I guess. IMO he deserved to get called names by the other reindeer
