teve Rooney, Head of Royal Mail’s Address Management Unit said: “We decided to find out how well Christmas themes were represented on street names. The team came up with a number of words closely linked to Christmas, drew up a shortlist and began to investigate. We found the Christmas theme was very well represented and we had a lot of fun doing it.”

He added “The last posting dates for First and Second Class mail have now gone but customer wishing to send urgent items can still do so using our Special Delivery service. This service guarantees next day delivery and can be purchased up until tomorrow 23rd December.”
