you have already started your holiday shopping, because shipping deadlines are
coming before you know it.
The three
big shipping and delivery companies have already announced the dates you need
to make sure
your packages show up before Dec. 25.
FedEx

Christmas falls on a Sunday this year, you can't get overnight delivery from
FedEx. You'll have to ship FedEx Same Day on Dec. 23
to get your package there by Christmas. FedEx Express Saver, 2Day and Overnight
service deadlines are all one day earlier this year, due to the Sunday holiday
date.

Hanukkah starts
on Dec. 18 and runs through Dec. 26. Since Hanukkah begins exactly a week
before Christmas, you should subtract a week from the Christmas deadlines to
figure out Hanukkah deadlines.
Kwanzaa
starts on Dec. 26, which is a federal holiday this year, so you will need to
follow Christmas deadlines for package delivery. Both USPS and UPS will not be
delivering packages on Dec. 26, and FedEx will have limited services.
