All you have to do is fill in a few details about the child and choose from our selection of professionally written templates, and a unique festive telegram could be winging its way to the child of your choice within days. You can even preview your letter before ordering to make sure it is just perfect.
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.
Letters must be addressed to Santa's official USPS address – SANTA CLAUS, 123 ELF ROAD, NORTH POLE, 88888. Letters received without last names and correct return addresses cannot be uploaded. Packages can be shipped from all 19,000-plus post offices around the country.
A letter to Santa should be placed into an envelope with a postage stamp, and sent to 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888. Don't forget your return address — be sure to write it clearly and include an apartment number if applicable, so there is no confusion about where the gift should be sent.
"What should I write to Santa?" Tell Santa what you do for fun. Tell Santa what you would do if you had a reindeer. Tell Santa what you do to help your mom. Tell Santa about where you live. Tell him about your favorite snacks. Tell Santa what you might leave out for him. Tell Santa how you wrote and sent this letter.
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.
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.
When responding as Santa, make the response 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.
Explain specifically what the child did that deserved rewarding. Tell the child whether he or she made Santa's naughty or nice list (only mention it if they are on the nice list though). Inform the child that if he or she continues to demonstrate similar positive behavior, the child will be rewarded at Christmas time.
