Now That's More Christmassy

Ok, I had to get rid of all that flippin' pink. Ew. And this fits the season better, anyway.

A side note on the mailing of the Christmas packages... When I went back to the post office and got in the end of the lo-o-o-ong line, an employee came through asking if anyone was trying to mail packages using a credit card. I raised my hand.

She guided me back over to the same machine that told me "NO!" the day before. I said, "I tried this yesterday and the machine said I had to go through the line because the label won't all fit the face of my package."

"Trust me," she said with a smile, and took my box over to the machine. She put my package on the scale, pushed the same buttons I'd pushed the day before, except for one apparently, and took the resulting label, peeled it, set the bottom to rest just above the "To" address of my package and folded the part that didn't fit right up over the top of the box. That's exactly what I wanted to try the first time, but I was afraid my package would be lost in limbo until time stopped and the presents would be both ruined and forgotten. Go figure.
