A Post Office ? The first Gift of 1999

The First Gift of Christmas 1999

Post Office

Dept 56 New England Series

I had to go look at the boxes to determine which gift was given in 1999. Reading the box comments I had written brought it back immediately. John was at Ohio State University in the fall of 1999 and we would write letters to him. WOW! Writing letters and a post office may be a thing of the past at some point in the future of this village, but in 1999 my comments were "John at OSU this fall so our village needs a Post Office. The price of a stamp is $.33"

The price of a stamp today is .47 or it was the last time I bought stamps. Now there is such a thing as forever stamps and they are basically good forever even if the current price of a stamp is more than you paid.
