L et’s wax nostalgic. Let’s talk about life before e-mail. Anyone remember the old blue aerogrammes? You’d write in tiny letters all over the pre-stamped airmail envelopes; if you were really cheap you’d write on the back flap knowing the mailman would enjoy reading your “private” message as much as your friend would.
Then there were the goofy letters we sent our friends from camp. We’d take a paper plate write in circles all over it fold it in half address stamp and staple it and send out a combination letter-and-origami creation!
They don’t make deliveries like they used to… But although deliveries have changed they can still be special.
Even in our high-tech lives there’s plenty of room for enjoying deliveries. A wedding invitation is a wedding invitation whether it’s opened with a letter opener or at the click of a mouse. Online shopping has made package deliveries an everyday joy. And there’s still the fun of receiving everybody’s favorite home delivery: Mishpacha magazine!
