Children love the spirit of Christmas (and receiving gifts) especially when it comes to seeing Sanat Claus and sending their wish lists to the North Pole. If your kids would love to receive a letter back from Santa The United States Postal Service is here to help.
Here’s how it works: Have your child write a letter to Santa. Place their letter in an envelope addressed simply “SANTA CLAUS, THE NORTH POLE.” Next, secretly open the letter and write a response from Santa (remember you are Santa not mom or dad). USPS suggests writing it on the back of your child’s letter so he or she can see the original along with Santa’s response.
“When responding as Santa, make the response as personal as possible by highlighting your child’s accomplishments over the past year,” USPS suggests. “For example, helping around the house, receiving good grades in a particular subject at school or participating in community service activities.”
Then, put it in an envelope addressed to your child with “SANTA CLAUS, THE NORTH POLE” as the return address.
Add the proper postage, put it inside a larger envelope, also with the necessary postage and send it all to:
North Pole Postmark
Postmaster
4141 Postmark Drive
Anchorage, AK 99530-9998
USPS says letters must arrive by Dec. 15 for Santa’s helpers to get the response back to your child in time for Christmas. This is your chance to be one of Santa’s little helpers and put a smile on your little one’s face!
