Since 1999 Slovak Post, joint stock company, has been organising a “Christmas Letters” project comprising two parts: “Christmas Greetings” and “Letters to Santa Claus”. Last year was the fifth anniversary of the project. Owing to its success with the general public, the project has now become an established Christmas tradition. In past years the clients of Slovak Post had the opportunity to send “Christmas greetings” marked with a special Christmas sticker and bearing a stamp from Rajecká Lesná made especially for this occasion to their dear ones. The “Letters to Santa Claus” is designed mostly for children. They can write a letter with their wishes or send a drawing to Santa Claus to the address: “999 99 Santa Claus”. A reply is then received in the form of a letter from Santa Claus. During the five years the number of letters sent to Santa Claus, and consequently the number of replies sent, exceeded 500,000. Some of the letters were received from abroad: USA, Canada, Africa, and China. The most beautiful drawings from previous years were considered as designs for the Christmas 2004 postal stamp. The Execution Commission awarded a drawing by Jarka Žigová and Veronika Rusnáková from a Special Primary School in Spišský Štiavnik. This drawing was used as the basic design for the Christmas 2004 postal stamp. A drawing of the girls’ classmate, Ľudovít Žiga, was the basis for the FDC design.
