I am glad my Grandaughter has grown up and the Elf has gone after what it did to me.

Happy Christmas everyone and all the best 😀.

Just delivered today?

[Sword 1,330]

Nope. Posties don't work on Christmas day.

Used to, in the 1950s.

I had to look it up, and Christmas day delivery stopped in 1960.

Here is a postman's account.

My dad was a postie back then, and often worked on Christmas Day, usually up to midday. He and my mum were grateful for the overtime and exceptional payments, but for me it meant I had to wait to open my presents.😟

It's nice if there is an option to earn some bonus money if one wants too. I am not old enough to know of a time when any non essential services (like post, transport, supermarkets) would operate on Christmas day.

I'm 71 and I only remember transport in that list, but there wasn't very much of it!
