The wife of Sinarda Tyler, a rural carrier in Groton, CT, has an Instagram account dedicated to video clips of Tyler dressed for the 25 days leading to Christmas — often featuring a punny T-shirt, colorful leggings and festive gear that he also wears while making his deliveries.
“We do a little story and put it online,” said Tyler.
“After I had a heart attack two years ago, the kids on my route decorated their mailboxes welcoming me back, and ever since then, I go a little further than just Christmas.”
Indeed, there was a bonus installment this month. The Easter Bunny has been added to Tyler’s roster, which has expanded to include a leprechaun, Cupid and other holiday-themed getups.
For his latest transformation, “it started with the hat, which was given to me by Postmaster Kristine Moore. I went from there” — including adding a shower pouf for the tail.
“I love my job, I really do,” Tyler said.
