It may come as no surprise that your mail didn't get delivered on Thanksgiving. But will it come on Black Friday?
Thanksgiving is one of 11 holidays where mail service is halted in the United States, with postal facilities closed and mail delivery stopped for the day on Thursday.
That stoppage will only last one day however, as mail delivery and other postal services will resume on Friday, Nov. 24, according to the USPS website.
Mail service will next be stopped for the Christmas holiday, with Monday, Dec. 25 featuring no deliveries and no services at local post offices.
Here is the full list of holidays observed by USPS:
