The final posting dates for Christmas are sooner than you think
The Christmas hype has well and truly begun and it's only November!
With so many of us Irish living abroad, we all have at least one card or parcel to send this Christmas.
The final posting dates have been released by An Post and some of them are much sooner than you would think.
You'll be able to send cards up until December 20th for Ireland.
Sending cards and packages outside of Europe you should have them all sent by December 7th.
Standard letters can be sent to the United States up to December 10 but that does not include larger parcels which must be sent beforehand to arrive in time for Christmas.
The final posting dates for Christmas are:
