CEs: If running after Dec. 12, delete any irrelevant dates. Get wrapping. It's time to send your holiday presents. Don't forget — Hanukkah is Dec. 7-15, so plan to ship ASAP. < CEs: Omit or tweak if running after Dec. 7. E.g., if it's Dec. 7, they still have time for presents to arrive by Dec. 15.

Have packages that must arrive before Dec. 25? We've got when and where to ship them.
