Cards Arriving

I mentioned in an earlier post that the first Christmas card that I received was from my cousin Kevin in England.  The Friday before Christmas I received an email from my private mailing service that more mail had arrived at the Mexico City Mailboxes Etc. office.  However, I was not able to get there before their closing time, and they are closed on weekends.  It was not convenient to go to the office when I was at Alejandro's family's house on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  So, it was not until yesterday that I was able to pick up my mail.  There were four items, one was a mailing from Medicare, the other three were Christmas cards.  Then today, I was notified that more mail had arrived, and the email came early enough that I made it to the office before closing.  This time there were twelve cards for me!  

Among them were a card from my cousin Vera in Switzerland and my cousin Hans Peter in Norway.  There are many more on their way.  I am constantly getting emails saying that something has arrived at the office in Miami or that something is on its way to Mexico.

The Christmas season in Mexico lasts until January 6th, so I don't consider any of the cards that are on their way to be late.  And even if they arrive later in January, I still look forward to receiving them.
