Was in post office this morning and they were out of stamps....
Because prices went up 5 cents today....
How is it that I'm so often in the dark about these things....🙄
Turns out they had a "run" on Friday as everyone bought all the forever stamps before the price jumped.
Inflation...?

What's a stamp?
I haven't bought one in 5 years or more.

Print them out on your printer at home.

I send about a dozen Christmas cards every season. So stamp prices aren’t on my radar. Most everything billed is handled online.

We were sending Christmas emails as well. A friend overseas ask several of us for our addresses so she could be old fashioned and send Christmas cards. It kind of caught on, and we’re still at it. Neat to receive Christmas cards from around Florida, Europe and Guam.

Neat to receive Christmas cards from around Florida, Europe and Guam. I refuse to send cards. It was funny when I started I got maybe 30 cards at Christmas. Then it slowly got fewer and fewer until the only ones I got were business related. Now I get none. Don't tell Tony, but I hate snail mail. 95% of my communication is electronic. My drug plan is the only thing without a paperless option.

It’s definitely not as common as it was 25 years ago. Seems the people that do send cards send a bunch, and this causes them to receive a bunch.

Actually XMAS is acceptable in the Christian world. The letter X has a religious connotation. Sorry I don’t have time to google the meaning.

I did that with a friend of mine until he died. There was almost no room left to write anything on it.
