Another Very Snail Mail Card

It seems the snail mail service really deserves its name these days. After almost a month we got another Christmas card (which was posted by air mail a week before Christmas). Although my relatives paid for fast delivery, we got such a slow service in exchange. Disappointing.

This card came after Christmas due to the very slow postal service. Sent by airmail on Dec. 11, 2016, arrived here on Jan. 10, 2017. It should have been in our mail box within 7-8 days only, not after a month time.
