2024The Christmas Mail - First Day Cover

Slovak Post has organised the Christmas Mail since 1999. It is a unique and highly popular project that focuses on children and families, togetherness and tradition. Over the 25 years of the Christmas Mail, more than 2,350,000 wishes have been received from children from all over the world at the address “999 99 Ježiško” in the municipality of Rajecká Lesná, where the post box is located. Although last year the majority of letters and postcards addressed to the Baby Jesus came from Slovakia, he also received mail from children in Taiwan, the Czech Republic, China, Germany, Great Britain and many other countries. All those children who include their correspondence address will receive a reply from the assistants of Baby Jesus plus a small gift. They not only reply in Slovak, but also in English and Braille.
