I can wait until after the first of the year, too. I have about 2 feet of snow on the walkway to my front door from just this weeks storms with more falling at the moment that I haven't been able to remove, so I don't even know that the USPS would deliver.
Of course, as you experienced, USPS also delivered here part of the time while I was at WDW and had my mail on hold. What gives?
