The Post Office (did something they never did before)!

Today, for the first time in my life, I received a piece of mail with literal No Stamp on it! I'm serious.
A long time friend from my school days sent me a Christmas Card like she does practically every year. This year, she obviously forgot to put a stamp on it.
It did have a post mark of December 9th and that little scan mark at the bottom of the envelope, but no stamp.
Usually, if someone forgets to put a stamp on a letter, it gets returned to sender with a message to put a stamp on it. That happened to me once many years ago.
So, obviously this stampless letter got overlooked.
Has this ever happened to you?

Yes, it’s happened. Back in the old days of people actually handling the mail, my limited duty job was to check mail for stamps. I kept track and realized that I’d “saved” the post office nearly $100 in a month by catching mail without stamps, or with inadequate postage, or people trying to pass off Easter Seals stamps as postage stamps.

@AngelNelson — way back in the old days they sold these stamps, or “seals” to raise money for a disabled children’s organization called Easterseals.
Here’s information from their website:

Uh no, don't think I ever got a stampless letter. You were blessed.
