This is the busiest time of year for the United States Postal Service.
Busy might not be a strong enough word to describe it, but needless to say, the United States Postal Service has it’s work cut out for it during this time of year. “This is our busiest time of the year,” said George Flood, spokesman for the United States Postal Service. “Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, we’re projected to do about 16.5 billion pieces of mail. “On an average day, we are getting around 540 pieces of mail a day,” said Flood. “During this time of year, we’re probably doing around 800 million.” That mail, it should be pointed out, also includes millions of letters to Santa Claus, much of it addressed to the North Pole.
