SAN JOSE, CA — No sounds on the rooftop will give them away, nor a swoosh down the chimney as children play, but their knock on the door Christmas morning will make everything right and in perfect harmony. As in holidays past, letter carriers will be taking the burden off Santa as they dash about like “Comet and Blitzen,” delivering Priority Mail Express on Christmas Day.
Just in the “Nick” of time, carriers will sort and deliver every piece of Priority Mail Express to every house until nothing is left stirring at the Post Office, not even a mouse. Starting at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 25, letter carriers who often volunteer to be scheduled for this holiday assignment will be loading their sleighs with Priority Mail Express for delivery in the city of San Jose from:
Cambrian Park Station
1769 Hillsdale Ave.
San Jose, CA 95124
