Postmaster Bill at the Unionville Post Office wants customers to know that he has Christmas-themed mailing envelopes, boxes and other packaging materials on sale at 50 to 80 percent off, and Christmas cards are 50 percent off.
"Those boxes are a really good deal," he said, pointing to a sturdy red-and-green one that he said was made of thicker cardboard than usual. The sale will go on until the merchandise is gone. I plan to pick up some of the rectangular boxes for Christmas cookie shipping.
The irrepressible (people have tried) Karen Halstead, who was in the post office at the time, picked up a red-and-white cube-shaped box and held it next to her head, grinning like she was the "Let's Make a Deal" model. What a time to leave my camera at home! Karen reports that her table in the Kendal dining room is always the loudest and the last to leave. No one who knows her will be surprised to hear that.
