Why does Easter Monday even exist? It’s not about eggs. Historically, it was a day for “Hocktide” festivities. People played pranks, danced, and collected money for the church. No mail trucks involved.
No Mail on Easter Monday Lets Clear Things Up
In the 19th century, the post office was a government beast. They decided Easter Monday wasn’t important enough to close. Too many bills to deliver.
Fun fact: In 1910, a postmaster in Ohio tried to declare Easter Monday a holiday. The local newspaper roasted him. “No day off for letters!” they shouted.
But What If You Do Get Mail?
Sometimes, you might see a truck. Don’t get excited. It could be a contractor or a private service like FedEx or UPS. They don’t follow the USPS rules.
Amazon deliveries? They’re like zombies. They never die. Even on Easter Monday, a drone might drop a new spatula on your porch.
So if you hear a knock, check the logo. If it’s a USPS uniform, you’ve found a unicorn. Report it to the news.
