I have traditionally sent very few requests in December but, having more time on my hands (I do not have any end of year reports to prepare) I have sent about 20 this year.

WOW!! I don't think I have ever got mail THAT wrong addressed! Sometimes I get a neighbors mail and one time I got a letter addressed to a street name close to mine but that is about it

I sent out my last request about a week ago until after new years only because it would be pointless to send anything right now,but as far as getting back autos in december i think it's a good time because celebs have time off and time to check mail and agents and managers often wanna clean up the fanmail before the end of the year and also celebs are probably feeling in the xmas spirit and more likely to read letters and sign stuff... {up}

[quote="Sasorikiller"]They may just hold fanmail until Christmas is over. You really can't tell for each individual.[/quote]

Requests sent to a sports personality is almost always sent to the former player's home address. There is no one to hold fanmail. That's why it is generally a good idea to lay off until after Christmas, for the obvious reasons. Personally, I think it is bad taste to send at this time anyway.

I agree. I work part-time in a post office and the only thing that changes is the volume.

I found that responses are down during the holidays, but it picks back up when they are over. You'll just have to wait a little longer for the replies.

[b]The mail services will be very buisy in December due to all the Christmas letters and parcels but I send my requests all year round {up}
There is an increased risk of your requests getting lost or delayed in the mail over the Christmas period so its up to you if you want to send in December :D
Good luck!![/b]

I generally don't mail in Dec because of all the extra mail in the system because of the holidays. The last thing I want is to have my request get lost in all the hustle and bustle. I can wait the extra month--and spend more time preparing letters/printing photos, etc
