Unfortunately, the Christ Child was not able to put a “virus vacuum cleaner” under the Christmas tree, which eliminates all pathogens, other not so simple Christmas wishes are in the works: More than 11,500 children from all over the world confided in a letter to Christkindl what they did wish for Christmas.
Post staff answered the letters for the Baby Jesus and sent cards back to the young letter writers. Many girls and boys only wished that “everyone would stay healthy” and that they could “just go back to school”. One child asked the Christ Child for a “Corona-Staubsauer” as a gift, which could simply devour the virus with its airflow.
The special postmarks with the Christmas motif were also heavily used: a total of 1.3 million Christmas and New Years greetings were stamped in the special post office.
