Holiday Mailing Tip
Tags: None
In the spirit of holiday cheer, I’m going to share with you one of my holiday secrets.
Immediately adjacent to Los Gatos is a very small city named Monte Sereno. (“El Sereno” is the name of the large mountain to the right of the pass to Santa Cruz. “El Sombroso” is the name of the large one to the left.) The Monte Sereno Post Office, located on Hightway 9 (aka Los Gatos-Saratoga Road) and Rose Avenue, is usually the best place around during the holiday season when you need to mail a package. This year they have cut back on their hours and it is only open from 9am – 1pm, Monday through Friday. The lines are typically far shorter than at other nearby post office locations, but it is a small office and they don’t take credit cards or do express mail. So go armed with your simple mail and checkbook, and be delighted that the line is half as long as at other PO stations.
Cheers!
