Letters to Santa is back! You'll need to send your letter in a stamped addressed envelope (Details below) and Santa will reply, as long as you get letters there by the 9th of December. There's plenty of time to get it done, but better plan ahead and get them done as soon as poss.

Info
It's really important you write Santa's address carefully on a stamped envelope, and that you include your full name and address so I can write back to you.
Please send your letters to me by Friday 9 December so I have time to reply
I tell my kids all year not to lie, then I get out the elf on a shelf (warning that "the magic will go if you pick up the doll there") , get them to write self centred letters to Santa and hell, I even bite a carrot in half on Christmas Eve so it looks like the reindeer got fed. I'm a grown freakin man, hypocriticaly biting carrots in the name of lies. All this so that a fictitious guy with a weight problem can take the kudos for all the presents I bought them.

Do you tell them that they will get the benefits of compound interest when they are 21?

I met one of them once. Promised me 50p if I sat on his lap and didn't tell anyone afterwards.

My son had his reply from Santa today - a card with a star picture to colour. He was happy to get a card from the real Santa!

used to be better and the 1 nice thing the royal mail did before they started charging. They profit in this via the stamp costs. My kid just posts his letter to santa in postbox as usual (without a stamp, and usually without our address). And I do my own letter in word, takes a bit of time to make it look nice and North Pole-ish but it always looks good.

Heres an idea people, spend 5 minutes one night and write letters to your own kids, use a letter template to add Santa like appearance and print it off, post it to yourself.. cut out the middleman make it 100% personal to each child, and feel good for doing a bit of parenting :smiley:

I wonder how many minimum wage staff it takes RM at Belfast to reply, 800000 letters at 55p is £440000.00 - half a million
What a RM moneyspinner!
I much prefer Canada: Santa Claus, North Pole, Canada, HOH OHO

There is no need to put a stamp on the letter to Santa, just drop it in the post box, you will only be asked for a stamp if you take it to the counter to post. You do need a stamp on the return envelope though.

Hey guys I'm also doing something similar, please get in touch as I will be telling the truth about Santa to the kids instead of lieing to them.

I hope they have a special North Pole postmark ready to go, otherwise you'll get the more canny 6 year olds saying things like, "mummy, why did santa send me a letter from Wolverhampton?"

Job redundancy letters are postmarked, Mumbai, India as are Children Christmas Santa Call Centres "Speak to Santa".
It was a sad day when Father Christmas found out that snowflake's kids weren't real. :disappointed:

I told my foster parents that I killed my biological parents for not buying me a bike for Christmas...
That Christmas I got 5 bikes.
Kept one and put the other 4 on eBay.

Is this to the real Santa though?
Or is it just some imposter wearing a fake Santa suit and a false beard saying, 'Ho' Ho' Ho'?

So, how does it work?
1. You write your own name and address on an envelope and stick a stamp on it.
2. You put the self-addressed envelope in a second stamped envelope which you send to Father Christmas.

Use the address on the Op, put your details on the back and the stamp on the front.
Then if you are lucky before Christmas you will get a reply, some years we didn't get a reply, others got one and didn't get another and one unhappy child who thought they were on the naughty list.

Wondering if this is worthwhile for an almost 3 year old (turns 3 mid Feb)
Here's the Royal Mail website that tells you all about it. Last year I wrote the address on the letter. Not the envelope.
That Christmas I got 5 bikes.
Kept one and put the other 4 on eBay.
Jeez at least get the address right, half the letters will end up in post office hell and lost forever :stuck_out_tongue: think of the poor little kids mate!
