I remember back in the OLDE DAYS when you would be waiting for something in the mail and it would seem like it took forever to get what you were waiting for.  Sometimes the wait was better than the actual thing.  So this episode sort of plays on those old memories, sort of not.  It would stink to get the mail, and everyone else got cool stuff, but you didn't.

Okay, so little things here. Spike's line, "Hail, hail!  The mails all here" is a reference to something probably no one knows anymore.  It is based on something from 1917!  Lol!  So if you're really old, you might get the joke. 

 Several Columbia boxes, which is the AT&F version of Amazon.com.  Panel three has a card with a heart for Spike.  Mmmm, saucy.  It is in Lily's colors, so don't think anything crazy is going on here.

Probably speaking for the crowd on this but this is like an entry into adulthood as well. Use to get gifts or gift cards sometimes during the holidays with money and now only receive mail showing we owe others money. I love how this series makes our favorite ponies relatable almost directly with our own lives.

Exactly right. Birthdays for example, as a kid, it is expected the kid would get gifts. As you get older, the gifts and parties disappear... or the way you celebrate changes. Gifts we wouldn't have enjoyed younger, we might enjoy when we get older. Practical surprise gifts may be the best gift of all!

Forget snail mail, remember when just sending plain emails to your friends was your primary means of communicating?

I came across it by happenstance in the past. I just remember that little tune.

The text reminds me of a song called "Please Mr. Postman"
