Advent season - Letterboxes in the UK are now singing "Jingle Bells"
Just before the first day of Advent, the British postal service has come up with something special - and it's also a little bizarre: Royal Mail is surprising some of its customers with "singing letterboxes" in the run-up to Christmas. The postal company has announced that letterboxes in London, Swansea, Glasgow and Belfast have been fitted with a mechanism that plays Christmas carols when mail is posted.
The classic red letterboxes have also been decorated with images of snowmen, snowflakes and golden stars. They play well-known melodies such as"Jingle Bells", "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and "Deck The Halls".
Advent time in London: a letterbox also plays Christmas carols on Oxford Street
"There's nothing better than sending Christmas cards to friends and family and spreading a bit of festive cheer," said London borough councillor Patricia McAllister, who holds the office of Lord Mayor of Westminster, according to the British news agency PA. In London, a letterbox on Oxford Street was chosen for the campaign.
According to the Royal Mail, twice as many letters, cards and parcels are sent in December than in other months of the year. This year, the company is also issuing special stamps inspired by five traditional Christmas carols for the festive season. These are the first Christmas stamps to bear the likeness of King Charles III.
