Same here, but my point wasn't to brag about the postal service. (I used to
be one of those striking postal workers before I went to university. Canada
Post was a nightmare back then.) It's just that the thought of a Christmas
postal strike has a very nostalgic tone to it. It was common in the 70's for
sure, but (without researching it) I can't remember more than one in a
couple of *decades*. I asked my wife, has she has the same sense of it.
That's anecdotal, for sure, but we don't have an 'annual Christmas postal
strike'.
