I think I sent the same number of Christmas cards, including the TE exchange. I wonder if the PO produced the same number of holiday stamps? There's supply and demand - they may have produced less because they expected less. Also your local PO supply is based on previous demand, and some pre-designated allocation system. You can always order stamps at the PO store - www.usps.com - and it is a (dot) com address and not a (dot) gov address. I've gotten stamp by mail when they weren't available locally - only cost $1 more. Drawback is you have to wait for them to be delivered, by mail.

I love spoof annual newletters, and wish I could actually write them. Sure beats the "we're successful and went on a wonderful vacation without you" type annual letters.

Merry Whatever to Everyone!
I need to get off my hind-end, extract Herald off my lap, and go bake a cake for my lovely neighbors.
