President Peter Pellegrini officially opened the 28th edition of the Christmas Mail initiative in Rajecká Lesná on Saturday, marking his third consecutive year as its patron. He praised the tradition, saying that true wealth comes from what people can give and wish for others, rather than themselves. The initiative allows children from Slovakia and around the world to send letters, drawings and Christmas wishes to Baby Jesus until December 16. Letters can be addressed to the postal code 999 99 Ježiško, with replies available in Slovak, English and Braille. Each year, children can submit their Christmas drawings, with the winning artwork selected to appear on the following year's postage stamp. This year, Slovak Post unveiled a special Christmas postage stamp featuring a drawing by Vierka Sudorová.
