Although the Pope does not personally open his e-mail, his aides have been leaving on his desk the hundreds of messages he has already received.
E-mail to the Holy Father can be sent through a «Christmas 2003» site at the Vatican Web page, at www.vatican.va/liturgical_year/christmas/index_2003_en.htm.
The site includes images from the celebrations presided over by the Pope, as well as recordings of various hymns.
