I was so depressed this Christmas season because my sister died. I tried shopping earlier, but just wandered aimlessly in the stores and couldn't cope with it. Some people live out of town and I know there is no way I can send something and have it get there on time. So, call them and explain? I can't hardly talk about it without crying. Just send the gifts with a note? What to do?

Go ahead and mail it late. No one is going to call you on the 27th and be like How Dare you get this to me 2 days late?
1800flowers still has Overnight delivery. The priority overnight will still get to them.
Honestly, a gift doesn't have a time limit on it. Most people are so busy Christmas day running around to family, they don't have time anyway. And I know I would be grateful you waited until I was back in town to ship anyway, since otherwise it would just pile up on my front porch (a clear sign for criminals).

I am sure all that you would be mailing to people that already know about your sister, so they will not mind at all if something comes late.....even at all. I am sure they just want to hear from you to make sure you are doing ok. I lost my brother this Fall also, it is hard to get Christmasy. God Bless and try and keep your head up.

I'm sure they will understand whether you send anything at all.
Do send a card though wishing them a happy holiday and tell them how you are doing. I'm sure they want to know.

I would mail them with a brief note. Don't worry if they are late, people will understand.

Take it to them.....drive it...........being around other people will help get your mind off yourself.
