December 2022
Happy holidays! This time of year injects happiness into most people. The emotional connection to our youth, that same energy seen in the eyes of our kids, and the sense of family it emboldens brings us to a place of positive vibes like no other time of the year.
For us letter carriers, we see this time of year as “parcel time.” But let’s remember the same feeling we got when we realized what heroes we were during the pandemic. It felt great, right? People were so genuine in their praise of us. The truth is we were/are always heroes. Not only do we bring them their mail and packages promptly, but we also do it better than our competitors. We also are part of the communities we serve in every way. We look out for our elderly, we collect food for the needy, and simply be ourselves. So, why not embrace our holiday season as “Letter Carrier Time.”
Why do we always feel good during this time of year? In addition, it’s a time when our customers feel it is necessary to tell us how much they appreciate us. Inevitably, the conversation comes back to you being there delivering all year long during the toughest of times. Why? Because sometimes you just don’t know how much you mean to this ecosystem of ours. Letter carriers are a special breed.
Post-pandemic, I hope everyone can return to the “office holiday party.” Some of our new carriers missed out on this. They have not been exposed to the full experience of being a letter carrier. We are a family! The new year is just around the corner. Relax, enjoy the moment of being the best at what you do in the whole wide world!
