The holidays are a jam packed time of year, and it is very easy to overlook things like shipping deadlines during all the hustle and bustle.

That's why I thought I'd take it upon myself to let you know when you need to get your packages in the mail so they can arrive in time for Christmas morning.

Before we get to the deadlines, just remember during the craziness that is the holiday season lets remember to be kind and courteous to employees.

I'm not just talking about our post office employees which will be under plenty of stress, but every business in Montana is understaffed and overworked.

So, let's make sure that we are treating people with kindness and the respect that we would want to be treated with ourselves.
