Remember how you can get special postmarks from cities for Valentine's Day? Well, you can do the same for the Winter Season holiday. Much like mailing your cards to Bill at the Olathe Post, you can send your addressed and stamped cards to the attention of the "Postmaster: Re-mailing" at the post office of the city of the postmark you desire.

I ... had no idea you could do this sort of thing. Neat! Though I confess that I'm not sure why these post offices would be interested in inviting folks to re-mail through them; it seems it would mean a monstrous amount of extra work for them in a season that's already plenty busy.
