  The postal service gets into the spirit of the island.

  

The island of Nantucket is best known as a popular destination in the summer. But each December it comes alive for its annual Christmas Stroll Weekend. The town dons its holiday wear, the streets hum with activity, and people travel from afar to participate in this special weekend of holiday festivities.
