Instead of stressing out about Christmas shopping, and wrapping everyone’s presents, let’s normalize hand-me-downs, gifts of love, or even no gifts. We shouldn’t have to go into debt telling people how much we love them.
Write a letter to your postal carrier, and let them know how much you have appreciated and how grateful you are for their services this year. I hope this year, people change their perspective on a postal carrier’s duties, since a lot of them delivered our parcels, which saved us from going to out to crowded malls. Or if you were in lockdown at sometime throughout the year, and the only way we could have gotten something we needed was to order it online.
You can leave this letter in your mail box, just be sure to write the words, Postal Carrier, or if you know their name, you can write that on your envelope. My Dad is a letter carrier, and a long time ago, one of the houses he delivered to, gave him a box of chocolates, and one of her Porcelain dolls to give to me. I loved it so much, that I still have it to this day.

Thank you, Daisies!
When I was very young, my (adoptive)great grandmother got me clothes from the thrift shop, which she gift-wrapped in the funny pages from the Washington Post.

That’s great! Because I know where I live we can’t recycle wrapping paper, so all of that ends up going into the garbage. I don’t like being wasteful.

Thank you (or thank Grandma!), and likewise! I get called “cheap” for not using ‘real’ wrapping paper, but it saves trees/landfill/etc, and it reminds me of my gr. grandma’s love, so why not? š

You can even use a scarf, towel, or newspaper to wrap a present.
