There is a little out of the way place in the Ozarks, tucked down in the corner of Missouri, not far from Arkansas, not far from Oklahoma, that has carved out a name for itself during the Christmas holiday. A few things had to fall into place, even a little change of name, to give rise to this mountain tradition, one that is still going strong today and one you can take part in!

Note on Noel Post Mark:

Most of the cards stamped by the post office come from people who drive to the town to drop them off, Taylor said, but

cards can also be bundled together and sent to Postmaster, Noel, Mo. 64854.

There is no charge for the service, but the post office asks that it only be used for personal Christmas cards and not for packages or business use. If sent by mail, first-class postage is needed on all cards before sending them.
