Santa has a lot of letters to read, so here's how you can make his job easier: Write legibly. Include your full name and address in the letter. List the gifts you want in order of preferences. Be specific about the gifts you're asking for. Don't ask for gifts that might be too expensive.
Tips: When responding as Santa, make the letter from Santa as personal as possible by highlighting your child's accomplishments over the past year. For example, helping around the house, receiving good grades in a particular subject at school or participating in community service activities.
If you're not sure where to start, here are our best tips for what to include in a letter from Old St. Nick: Mention something good the child did this year: an achievement at school or in sports, being helpful with a sibling, or showing kindness to family and friends. Acknowledge specific gift requests.
Here's how: Have the child write a letter to Santa and place it in an envelope addressed to: Santa Claus, North Pole. Write a personalized response to the child's letter and sign it "From Santa." Insert both letters into an envelope, and address it to the child.
The letters travel to Santa's U.S. satellite workshop, where they are opened and reviewed, personal information is redacted, and the letters are uploaded to the USPSOperationSanta website.

Start your letter with a personalized greeting from Santa himself. Write ``Dear'' and your child's name. If he or she uses a nickname, include that instead of their full name. It will seem much more authentic.
