I can only speculate on the purpose for decking the box along with the halls.
1) It's to cheer up the postal worker who has to deliver the abundant wish books (and earlier-than-usual seed catalogs.)
My father in-law, a USPS rural carrier, groused about circulars and any holiday that generated more mail. The bright red bow wouldn't have turned his "Humbug" into "Ho-Ho-Ho."
2) The homeowner hopes the gussied-up mailbox will make Christmas cards feel right at home.
3) It's a gimmick to make the neighbors think the inside of the house must be Pinterest perfect too.
4) All that greenery will take the sting out of the credit card bills that pour in after the shopping sprees.
What's your theory? Why do you decorate your mailbox?
