The Letterbox That Says Welcome Home

This might just be the sweetest little letterbox ever. It is without a doubt the best letterbox in its neighbourhood. When you consider that almost every house anywhere in the world that has home delivery post has a letterbox, there is a very small percent of letterboxes with personality and most of those are at rural addresses. They also seem to model houses or animals which is interesting. 
Mail is great, how do you feel when you get a letter in the mail? And if it is handwritten, does that feel even better What is everyone reading this post (excuse the pun) took the time to handwrite a letter to a friend or family member, put the letter in a cute envelope, stuck a stamp in the top right hand corner and then posted it? That would be a collective amount of joy sent out around the world and that is what I call the good stuff in life. What if we could track each of those letters, giving it a virtual ribbon asking the letter reader to repeat the action to someone new and so on and so forth? How long would it take to wrap the whole world in this virtual ribbon of sent and received love? 
And on that note for you I have linked a most beautiful Ted.com clip. http://www.ted.com/talks/hannah_brencher_love_letters_to_strangers.html
