USPS is very good about making sure that we know that we need to get any package out the door a week before the holiday, for shipping within the United States. At Christmastime, they recommend allowing 3 weeks for international delivery. (I don't know if that shrinks during less busy times of the year, but that's my mental note: 3 weeks for anywhere outside the US.)
For your ordering ease (and because it's good for us to know ahead of time too), here are holiday dates (all US) and shipping deadlines for 2012:
| Holiday | Date | US Shipping | Int'l Shipping |
| St Patricks Day | Mar 17 | Mar 9 | already passed |
| Easter | Apr 8 | Mar 31 | Mar 15 |
| Mother's Day | May 13 | May 6 | Apr 18 |
| Father's Day | June 17 | June 9 | May 23 |
| Independence Day | July 4 | June 27 | June 10 |
| Halloween | Oct 31 | Oct 23 | Oct 8 |
| Thanksgiving | Nov 22 | Nov 14 | Oct 29 |
| Hanukkah | starts Dec 8 | Dec 1 | Nov 14 |
| Christmas | Dec 25 | Dec 16 | Dec 1 |
