Royal Mail Last Posting Dates Christmas 2025

So, there I was, last Christmas Eve, frantically searching for my grandma's address in my contacts, trying to remember if I'd sent her that card yet. I mean, who doesn't leave things to the last minute, right? Guilty as charged.

Anyway, I finally found her address, dashed to the nearest post box, and threw that card in there like it was a lifebuoy and I was drowning in a sea of missed deadlines. But then, I saw the sign. "Last posting date for Christmas: December 20th." Oops. I'd missed it by a day. I stood there, staring at that sign, feeling like I'd just been told there's no such thing as Santa.
