UPS employees sort packages as the packages make their way through the UPS Chicago Area Consolidation Hub in Hodgkins, Ill., Dec. 2010. It is expected that the facility will process 2.5 million packages on this the busiest package processing day of the year as holiday gifts make their way to their destinations. The Hodgkins facility is the largest package handling facility in the world.

Busiest day of the year for the largest package handling facility in the world

This is pretty much how I imagine Santa's workshop this time of year.

Where's Rudolph?

I'd bet if given notice, those UPS workers would have dressed up as elves. It's amazing and very cool to me that actual human beings are being put to service here, and being paid to boot.

Ribbit, Happy Holidays!
