Southern California letter carriers took
part in the recent Hollywood Christmas Parade.

12.18.14 – Despite a heavy downpour, a dozen Southern California letter carriers marched in this year’s Hollywood Christmas Parade.

The carriers held Priority Mail Flat Rate holiday boxes and satchels filled with wrapped gifts. Los Angeles District also decorated three 2-ton trucks for the parade.

“A huge roar could be heard and people jumped to their feet applauding our carriers,” said District Marketing Manager Lawnet Bates.

“We wanted to show the community that we’re ready to deliver the holidays,” Bates said. “It turned out to be a great experience — seeing and hearing the public’s response and appreciation.”

The 83rd Hollywood Christmas Parade will be shown Dec. 19 on the Hallmark Channel and broadcast on many local stations Dec. 20-25. The parade’s website lists airdates.
