The Post Office has issued a list of deadlines for people to send mail around the world if they want parcels or cards to arrive before Christmas Day.
Geoff Rickard, mail general manager, says mail has to be flown to the UK before it's then sent on to other places around the world.
He says the farther it's being sent, the sooner you'll need to post it:
