"Hello there -- I thought you should know that your Dec. 1st deadline will not be sufficient to get care packages to troops before Xmas. I work for the Post Office and admin has just put out a news release stating a November 12th deadline for care packages, December 1st for CARDS. Just so you know!"
There's a long list of things our troops could use here also.
I know it's from 2005, so maybe you should call your local P.O. to make sure.

I have had this from last year. So I think it might be around the same time frame and this comes straight from the United States Postal Service:
http://www.usps.com/communications/news/press/2006/pr06_067.pdf
They give different dates for package and different dates for cards and letters.
Monday, Nov. 13, is the deadline for sending holiday packages to troops stationed overseas using PARCEL POST to all Air/Army Post Office (APO) or Fleet Post Office (FPO) ZIP Codes. It looks like 11 December is the last possible day to mail express or priority letters or cards.
It also list the number you can call for USPS to send you free mailing supplies.
Good luck on getting a head start.

Can't find exact deadline, but would probably aim for Nov. 1 to be safe.
And for those of us overseas.... that's half the fun of Christmas. How many Christmases will you get? There's the pkgs that arrived on time, then the ones that show up the week after, the ones that got lost....... Great fun!! Christmas sometimes makes it until the end of January!

In a crate sufficiently vast for them to be shipped back to the U. S....and you will possibly need to pay the return postage. which would be like a SASE, yet bigger. Like a SASC? Self Addressed Stamped Crate? it relatively is not a regularly occurring type trip, yet i'm beneficial that no longer something might instruct how plenty you care, till you purely wanted to get entangled in ending the wars. the two way. bypass forward an provide me the thumbs down. i do no longer care. Their wars are bullshit and fabricated. The warfare of Terror. How do you like your u . s . a . PATRIOT Act that they pullled out of a report cabinet someplace after 9/11, with the aid of the way?
