This is a really easy one and goes in the "work smarter not harder" category. Get stamps for your Christmas cards today. I like to have holiday stamps for our cards, so I ordered mine online. It takes about 5 minutes (if you don’t already have an account, quicker if you do), they only charge $1 for processing, and you don’t even have to leave your chair to do it.
If you venture to the USPS site, be sure to check out their shipping options that you can do right from home. I ordered a bunch of their flat-rate boxes and envelopes so that if I have something to ship out, I can pay for and print labels from our home computer (without having to weigh them), set them outside and be done. Don’t miss this option if you are one of the poor souls who waits in a winding line at the PO every year doing the two-steps-forward-package-shuffle! While there’s a certain bonding with your fellow man that occurs during hour plus waits (and plenty of opportunities to check out the latest trends in footwear), surely we all have better ways to spend our time. If you’re going this route, order supplies now so they will get to you in time for your holiday shipping.
Man! I sound like a PSA for the US Post Office! But I’ll plug anyone who makes my life easier.
