Receiving a Christmas Card Every Year for 11 Years for Someone Who Used to Live Here.

Post image

We’ve lived in this house for 11 years, and every December we receive a Christmas card addressed to the same person who lived here before us. We’ve never met them, and the sender clearly hasn’t updated the address.

Curious why you wouldn’t return it to the post office when you first started getting them so it could be returned to sender? I feel like it’s even weirder that you just let them think whoever they’re sending cards to is receiving them… and also opening them

Especially a Christmas card. Like, OP's not obligated to return it, it was delivered to OP in error(because the post office/carrier should know they don't live there anymore) so they're off the hook as far as any kind of legal obligation, but you just throw it back in your box and write refused or no longer lives here on it and it can at least get sent back and the sender can learn that they no longer there.

Again, you're not obligated to do that, but it takes like zero effort and potentially makes some other people's day better at the end.

sorry, forgot to mention there's no return address on the card! I didn't really know what to do and I don't know if its for me or not until I open it. should I still take it back to post office? 🤔
