Do You Still Have Time to Mail Gifts for Christmas? Just Barely

If you're like me, for some reason, Christmas snuck up on me. I know, I've been playing Christmas music since November. But, busyness, obligations, gatherings, family things all got in the way and suddenly, OOPS, if I don't get these things mailed out they won't arrive.

My family is scattered from Texas, Mississippi, Indiana and here in Michigan. I finally got on the stick and did the last mailing for the out-of-towners yesterday. They will get their gifts on time thank goodness.

So, now that it's Tuesday, December 20, what about you? Still running behind? I know, a bunch of you are, but there is hope. It will cost you more that it would have cost you last week, but thankfully there is still hope, so you had better HURRY!
