Head— Sunday was no holiday for USPS Starling MAIL SERVICE IS STRONGER THAN 30 EVER, DESPITE EMAIL
By Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
Twas the morning before Christmas and all over the Gilroy, Santas in blue brought presents and joy. Christmas Eve 32 carriers and clerks with the United States Postal Service in Gilroy delivered over 3,000 packages–most of
which, Christmas gifts ordered on Amazon– were just in time to fulfill Christmas dreams. And on a Sunday to boot. Lots of people are surprised to see USPS workers out on Sunday. A few years ago, the prevailing thought throughout the country was that the USPS would cutback to five days a week for delivery.
