Post Offices Closed on Thanksgiving STATEWIDE There will be no regular mail delivery or retail services available on Thursday, November 25, as postal employees across the state celebrate Thanksgiving. But carriers will still be delivering Priority Express and other guaranteed next day services. This holiday, the Postal Service is reminding customers to shop and ship early. The online store is open 24/7 at www.usps. com and boasts plenty of gift-giving ideas from t-shirts to framed prints, toys, and tote bags. The 2020 holiday season was a record-setting year for the Postal Service. Specifically, 13 billion letters, cards and packages were processed and delivered under some of the most difficult
circumstances we’ve faced in the past century. For the 2021 peak season – the period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day – the Postal Service will deliver more mail and packages to homes than any other shipper. It’s anticipated that between 850 million and 950 million packages will be delivered for the holidays. The total number of letters, cards and packages processed and delivered is estimated to be more than 12 billion.
The Postal Service will expand Sunday delivery, beginning November 28, to locations with high package volumes. USPS already delivers packages on Sundays in most major cities and expects to deliver more than 9.7 million packages each Sunday throughout the holiday season. Mail carriers will also deliver packages for an additional fee on Christmas Day in select locations. The Postal Service plans all year for the peak holiday season. This year’s preparations include leasing 7.5 million square feet of additional space across more than 40 annexes to handle the increase in the number of packages being mailed.

and social causes. As comedian, commentator, and the founder of Humor for Humanity, Tingle weaves the good, the bad, and the ugly of the pandemic with the humor, hope, and humanity the world so desperately needs in 2021. If laughter is the best medicine, then Jimmy Tingle is the Surgeon General of political humor. Jimmy was a 2018 democratic candidate for Lt. Governor of Massachusetts and received 41.3% of the vote in the Massachusetts primary in September of 2018. His latest film “Jimmy Tingle’s 20/20 Vision: Why Would A Comedian Run For Office?” is a funny and thought provoking look at this experience. He is a graduate of UMASS Dartmouth and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government where he earned a master’s degree in public administration (MPA). He was the graduate school commencement speaker at Harvard graduation for the class of 2010.
