Is it obvious this guy just doesn't care?

I have a friend/ ex BF who lives far away.. but we stayed close friends when things didn't work out. We write long emails to each other back and forth always. In our last mail I told him I bought him a Christmas gift and I joked, 'it's just a little something.. you know my shopping problem' he replied, "I'm glad I don't have a shopping problem.. since I'm already skinned as it is.. and I still have some gifts to buy for xmas.. I might rob a bank' so I replied and said I mailed the gift Monday..

It's been 5 days.. and I haven't heard from him or anything.. I sent him a christmas ecard that he opened but I didn't hear anything from him.
