It’s that time of year again, when Christmas cards, packages, and all the stuff that we ordered online starts to arrive at our front doors. December is by far the busiest month for all mail services and workers are bustling around the clock, making sure that people get their stuff delivered on time. In fact, this month the post office expects to break a new record.
They’re expecting to deliver an estimated 12.7 billion cards, letters, and packages between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve alone, and a further 3 billion before the month’s end. All those parcels and cards need to be delivered and you’re bound to see all the mail trucks out and about, making their rounds all day long.
Drivers have to work extra hard to meet the heavy demand. They are out no matter what, rain or shine, and often have to work through snow and icy conditions. So this holiday season, show your appreciation for the men and women who deliver your mail and leave them a small gift or a nice tip. It means a lot to them to know that you care. Plus, who knows, from there on out they may just handle your packages with extra care!
One family did just that and left out a gift, but they got an entirely unexpected and unique response from their delivery driver. Their home surveillance camera was pointed right at the front door and captured the awesome moment in all its glory. The UPS truck pulled up to the house and the delivery man went to the door and dropped off two packages.
Then he picked up the present that was waiting for him, opened it, and had the best reaction ever. He started dancing an Irish jig, or step dance, before taking a bow and calmly walking off back towards his truck. He must have gotten a substantial bonus from the family, and chances are he knew that he was on camera, so he thanked them through his dance.
So if you get a lot of packages in the mail throughout the year or in this busy month, remember to tip the hard working men and women who deliver them, and spread the holiday cheer and generosity.
