If you're sending Christmas cards or gifts to family or friends around the world, the Isle of Man Post Office is reminding you of the deadlines.

Each year the post office issues the dates to ensure post reaches its specific destination before Christmas day.

Those sending mail to people in the armed forces have the least amount of time - with Tuesday, November 27th being the cut off for posting.

Items for Asia, South America and Africa need to be sent in the first week of December, while the last date for Irish addresses is Tuesday, December 18th.
