Jason Thibeault has been an employee of the U.S. Postal Service for more than a decade now, and he says this year is the busiest he’s ever seen it. As a supervisor at the Green Street facility in Gainesville, he said the packages keep piling up. “Christmastime is always busy, but it’s been insane this year,” Thibeault said.
