Children have been sending their wishes, letters, postcards and drawings through the Christmas Mail project since 1999. Almost two million letters arrived during those years. Last year, it was 93,429 letters from 46 countries, most frequently from Slovakia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Czech Republic and Russia.
The longest letter measured 20 metres and it was written by children at the Horná Ždaňa Primary School and Kindergarten. The oldest fan is a 97-year-old lady called Anna, from a daycare centre in Margecany, who also sent a picture to Baby Jesus.
