Thanksgiving and Holiday Facts

The U.S. Census Bureau has published two recent listings of fascinating facts about Thanksgiving and the upcoming holiday season. If you want to know a ton about Thanksgiving, such as the fact that 272 million turkeys will be raised in the U.S. this year, go to the Thanksgiving Day Facts. If you'd like to find out more about upcoming December holidays, such as the fact that 20 billion pieces of mail were delivered by the U.S. Postal Service between Thanksgiving and Christmas, 2006, go to the 2007 Holiday Season Facts. Following the link to the USPS, I discovered that Monday, December 17 will be the busiest mail day this year and that the USPS activates its 24-hour National Operations Center on December 1. It's a good time of year to remember that you You Can't Send Shoes to Italy or Soap to Paraguay! Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!
