Cool thing to do to your Valentine’s Day cards..

This info was sent to me from my friend Christine:

Send Your Valentine a Valentine from Valentine for Valentine’s Day

Santa never wrote you back from the North Pole, did he?

And you’ve been a little cynical ever since. First of all, if there had been a post office up at the North Pole, it wouldn’t have been an efficient USPS office. Your letter might have ended up in a frozen mail sack in a warehouse in Moose Jaw, with a Canadian Postage Due stamp affixed to it. Or maybe Santa burned it to keep warm.

Anyway, here’s a chance to get a real postmark from another (near) mythical place. Valentine, Texas – the only adobe post office in Texas that we know of. A contest is held every year and the 2004 postmark design is by Rebekah Santabar, a Freshperson at Valentine High.

Place your St. Valentine’s Day card(s) – addressed to the proper recipient(s) in a pre-stamped envelope. Place it in another envelope and mail it to Postmaster, Valentine, Texas 79854.

Postmaster Maria Carrasco will take it from there – insuring that a legible postmark from Valentine is impressed onto each and every card.
