I sent out some Christmas cards from Brazil over a month ago. They ended up being a bigger hassle than Christmas cards are worth. For instance, the day before Rachel and I left Brasilia we walked a couple miles to the post office in the rain to mail them, only to find out the post office was closed. Then I carried them around with me in my backpack on the trip for a while, and finally mailed them in Curitiba, mostly due to Rachel's brainstorming for something to do during our first few days there when we wanted to die.
Finally today on January 27, I've seen one arrive. I could have mailed them APO and had them arrive within two weeks, but I wanted them to have Brasilian postage and stampings. Now that I see one, it doesn't look that exciting at all. So the extra huge expense and time wasn't worth the cuteness.
Go APO.
If you didn't receive a card from me and you know that usually you would, don't be sad. Maybe I didn't send you one because of the above-explained situation, or maybe I did and yours just didn't make it. I'll tell you Merry Christmas next time I see you.
