Hold your mail

A common phrase!

"Hold your mail" is a request to the postal service to suspend delivery of mail to a specific address for a certain period of time. This is often done when someone is going to be away from their home for an extended period, such as on vacation, and doesn't want to accumulate a large amount of mail that may be stolen or damaged while they're away.

To hold your mail, you can contact your local post office or visit their website to submit a request. You'll typically need to provide your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail. The post office will then suspend delivery of your mail until you return and can pick it up or have it forwarded to you.

It's a good idea to hold your mail if you're going to be away for an extended period, especially if you have important documents or packages that you don't want to miss.
