Based around the microsite **[Sendasinger.com](http://sendasinger.com)**, the idea was for companies to replace their traditional Christmas cards with video e-cards of carols sung by choirs made-up of folks who have been helped through Crisis projects– and the target was to raise £1 million. The great news is that this ambitious target has now been met! A success celebrated through a double page advertisement in the Financial Times today (using space donated by the paper) listing all of the companies who took part. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.
