Where's my mail?

Yesterday when I opened my mailbox I found a parcel in it.  That's why I love to check my mail. It's always full of surprises. The mailbox has an element of mystery to it thats what draws people to it. Even in these times, when email is more popular than snail mail, I prefer snail mail to email.
Handwritten mail, has a part of the person in it. The envelope, the paper, the writing all those have a part of the person in it. An email conveys messages too, it feels too electronic. I wish more people used snail mail. Gone were the days when  you opened your mail box and found thick envelopes stuffed with letters.

I never leave out an opportunity to write to a person. When we came to the US, I told amma that I would write to her regularly. But we talk to her everyday on skype so writing does not make sense. Today I talked to a very good friend of mine and she said she feels lonely and misses her friends. I also asked for her mailing address so that we could write to each other.

I totally do not like electronic greeting cards, I don't even bother to open it. But receiving a greeting in the post is really terrific. I love to send greeting cards to my close friends.
Some years back, Christmas meant getting a lot of greeting cards in the mail nowadays people don't send cards in the mail. But I do plan to send some greeting cards this christmas. It's really exciting even if I don't receive any.

I think we should use the snail mail to share our feelings with our friends. Receiving a letter in the post is the best feeling. Why don't we try to write our mails to add an extra touch of personality?
