Enjoying your Labor Day, or are you feeling bad about the lack of holiday mail that goes out on this holiday weekend? Even when we’re talking about keeping the post office busy with our holiday mail, Christmas still ranks number one (Valentine’s, again, holds that number two spot). The United States Post Office estimates that, between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, it processes somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 million first-class cards (we’re assuming Christmas cards are a huge part of that number) in the mail. Americans keep our mailmen (and mailwomen) working hard delivering our Christmas cards.

One interesting thing we learned from Forbes Magazine, who recently ranked holidays that trigger the most consumer spending here in the United States and the top three.  Those holidays are, in this order: Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Mother’s Day.   Are you shocked that Labor Day isn’t on that list?  Actually, probably not, as more people celebrate this particular holiday with picnics and barbeques and an unofficial farewell to summer kind of party than in other ways.  Hope you have a wonderful Labor Day this year and we look forward to seeing all those Christmas cards in the mailbox very soon.
