Tipping for Christmas
I give $20 each to our mailman, newspaper deliverer and hairdresser.

Correct. The Federal gratuity rules only apply to official Government employees, not USPS contract employees. Most workers at the postal stations are contract workers.

If you followed God's instruction you'd know.
Give as decided in your heart, God loves a cheerful giver. For with the measure you use, it will be given back to you. |

However, when I go to a restaurant, I’ve been tipping at least $10, always, which last night came to 40% of the check. Those waitresses really need the money. Some people I know leave 10%, or even less. |

We've been tipping waiters and waitresses 20% always but since pandemic an extra $10 over that. We tip lawn crew $100 to crew leader to split with group as he sees fit. Hairdresser $50. manicure $50. Mail ??? contractor or gov employee, we don't know so $0 Trash guys don't know if they're same guys every week or not ????, so $0. Newspaper delivery $100 this person always here 365 days of year and deserves it.

The newspaper guy, the one that picks it up off the drive and brings it in the house, $100.

In the end, asking for suggestions really defeats the purpose of a gift from the heart. Otherwise, it's more like the artificial "tipping" in those kinds of restaurants where it is actually just another part of the mandatory charge.... they add it to the bill. Do what you are feeling within your heart. Do you have a special appreciation for someone who cleans your house ? You may not even be able to afford it, but you have a deep feeling that person needs the money and would appreciate it greatly, so you gift them $200 when $50 gift is considered "standard", and so on.... you've probably seen stories on the news where some "ordinary" person left a server a $500 tip for a sandwich and coffee because their heart just led them to do this for this person. Got with your heart on each gift.... it will be so much more satisfying for you and EVERYTHING will be appreciated make no mistake about that !

Maybe that’s why it takes me a week and a half to two weeks to get a letter sent from New Hampshire if I get it at all.

I looked up the “sanitation worker” job listing for Jacobs. They offer $20,000 to $32,000 for the job. Try raising a family on that this day and age. I plan to try to catch them and give them $20 apiece. Same for the lawn crew.
