Very Airmail Christmas is back…

…and this time it is in honour of another very special person.

Last year, my friend Rebecca asked a few online friends to help her with a very special project that became known as ‘A Very Airmail Christmas‘. Over the space of a month about 30 people from all over the world signed up, and on December 1st cards began to get sent by snailmail all around the world. The idea came from one of Rebecca’s patients who we named ‘Robin’. Robin’s wish as she was dying from cancer was that everyone in the world would send a stranger a Christmas card to remember the true meaning of Christmas and spread good will. We know that Robin’s husband saw the Airmail Christmas gallery, and it meant a lot to Robin’s family to see people making this wish come true. This year, Rebecca is doing it again, this time in honour of Doria’s Mama MonkeyButt who died of cancer just before Christmas last year.

If you’d like to join in this year, do e-mail your name and address to:  forrobin_christmas AT hotmail DOT com by November 30th! It will only be shared with the person sending you the Christmas card. Below is a wee gallery as some of the people involved last year sent us pictures of sending/receiving their cards. Sadly we discovered some of the far travelling cards didn’t make it to their destinations, but that doesn’t stop us making the effort to give people ‘in real life’ post. It was so easy to do, and lots of fun to be a part of.
