Holiday mail

There is nothing better than getting mail. Real mail. In the mailbox mail. Emails are always fun but they don't even compare to the feeling of holding an actual envelope in your hand. This is more true than ever for me now, when any form of contact from my loved ones abroad makes me so happy.

Every day this week I have run to our mailbox when I get home from work because everyday there has been something in there for me! Today I received a notice that I had a large package to pick up at the post office down the street. You can imagine my excitement. It was a package from my mom with all sorts of Christmas goodies and my first presents of the year.

Aren't the holidays wonderful?! Thank you so much to everyone who has made the extra effort and paid the extra postage to send me a Christmas card this year. It means a lot! Klas sure has had fun looking at all of them too. The whole picture and a card in one thing was new to him :)

Our fridge full of Christmas cards!

Who is that good looking family at the top...the red card??

We love you and wish you here for Christmas. We'll see you soon. I know what you mean about mail.I feel like a kid when I go running (power walking) to the mail box everyday. I love this time of year when it's not just bills for me!
