Just in time for the new year!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Snail mail prices are creeping up.
Starting January 27, the price of a first-class stamp will increase one cent to 46 cents, the Postal Service announced Thursday. Postcard postage will rise one cent as well, to 33 cents.

Letters to international destinations will rise in cost to $1.10, up from the old prices of 85 cents to Canada and Mexico and $1.05 to other destinations. Overall, prices for mailing and shipping services will increase by 4% on average, with priority mail prices rising 6.3%.

Still a bargain, IMHO. Package of cigars 2000 miles for under $7.

I think I might have to login to my 401K and buy some stock on the week prior to 12/21. I'm sure the believers in the end will sell off and eat/drink and be merry prior.
