A service provided by the Royal Mail is barely known but is an absolute game-changer for Christmas mail. Bosses are keen to ensure youngsters' letters to Santa get to him on time. And they explain to little ones how to write a letter to him and to make sure they arrive on time. Children are told how they go about writing a letter which will be specially delivered to the magical man in red. Mail bosses also give details of where children can send their letters and even supplies the day letters must be received by.
Santa's personal greeting is then included in the instructions about how too write a letter to him. And even details are given about when it must reach him. A spokesman wrote: "It’s nearly Christmas, and we know you want to make sure that your letter to Santa Claus gets to him. Santa is as excited about Christmas as we are — read on to find out how to write to Santa. Make sure your letter reaches me by Monday 9 December and don't forget your stamp!"
The Royal Mail even includes instructions from Santa himself which details all they need to know and where their letters to Father Christmas must be sent. The magical letter explains Santa is really busy at this time of year, but is excited about the coming big day."
Santa's letter
Dear Children
Are you looking forward to Christmas this year? I certainly am! Christmas is a very exciting but busy time for me.
The elves are busy making toys. The reindeer are practising their sleigh runs. And I'm busy preparing my list of who's been good.
I will be getting my sleigh ready for the long journey on Christmas Eve. In between I will try and reply to as many of you as possible.
Please send your letters to:
Santa/Father Christmas
