BURLINGTON, Vt. -

It's the gift-giving season, and many of you plan to send your cheer through the mail. And, today is the biggest shipping day of the year.

FedEx says today alone 19 million packages will be sent.

Probably because next week, you'll have to pay extra to get your presents there by Christmas.

One of our viewers is ahead of the game. Pilar Stearns says she started shipping presents last week!

"I have friends and family in different parts of the world so we try to keep in touch," Stearns said.

If you wait 'til the last minute, you have until December 22nd to overnight your gifts.

FedEx says 280-million packages are shipped between Thanksgiving and Christmas!
