Here in Canada we mail it to the north pole and the people who work at the post office volunteer to reply/send letters from Santa to the kids for free.
During the last five years, current & retired Canada Post employees volunteer their time and have responsed to over one million letters from around the world (more than 14 million since the project started in 1982). The volunteers respond to the children's letters in the language that the child has written in, including braille. It's a great idea! :rudolph:
TFS! DH and DBIL are sharing the task of answering the kids letters and hopefully it becomes tradition. These would be great so DS7 doesn't get suspicious over handwriting! :smile:
You will get a reply (make sure to include your address). My children have sent one for the past 2 years and have been thrilled they got a letter from Santa. It is type written so there is no questions will be asked about hand-writing.
Our post office opens letters addressed to Santa Claus and sends a letter back to the child. No stamp needed either. We found this out by my son decideing he didn't want to wait to send out his letter until I picked up more stamps. He received a handwritten letter a couple of weeks later. We have been doing this now for about 4 years.
Every year I just type the Santa letter they have in the Current catalog for my grandchildren-then I add some Santa stickers to it and it looks very cute-this way I can add anything else I want to the letter-they all love it. I put on the envelope when I mail it Santa
Claus, North Pole and put some stickers on the envelope corners-WOMAN
