Our An Post Christmas TV advert is about how we remember family and friends at Christmas. It highlights the fact that when we make the effort to write and post our Christmas cards, the emotional rewards for both sender and receiver are enormous.

The TV advert features the song ‘The Christmas Waltz’ and was shot in locations around Dublin and Wicklow.

The music track is called ‘The Christmas Waltz’, vocals by Lisa Hannigan and is available to purchase on Bandcamp. All profits raised from the sale of the track will go directly to Simon Community to help tackle homelessness in Ireland.

Now, giant Anglo-Saxon supermarket chains, that’s how you do a Christmas ad.

Update:

Link to Bandcamp is now working. Donate here.

Finally.

The book YOU helped compile.

The book is an entirely Irish made beautiful picture book to introduce young children to our wonderful wildlife. There are lots of picture books about exotic wildlife from around the world – sharks and bears, big cats and snakes – but this is the first children’s picture book to focus specifically on the Irish fauna. Filled with fascinating facts and illustrated by Aoife Quinn, a very talented Irish artist, this book will capture the imagination of young children and make an excellent irish-made stocking filler….

Available to buy via the link below or in all decent buke shops.
