Send letters to Santa by 9th Dec
Remember to include your address so you can get a reply
Parents across Surrey and East Hampshire with children who want to write to Father Christmas this year are being told the letters must be sent to Santa's Grotto by Monday the 9th of December.
Royal Mail has been sending children’s letters to the North Pole for more than 60 years.
Parents are being reminded to use a stamp and include your full name and address - so Santa can reply.
Lisa Luveniyali, Royal Mail Chief Elf, who ensures children’s letters reach Santa at his grotto in Reindeerland in the North Pole, said: “Royal Mail plays a very special part in the nation’s Christmas preparations. We are proud that for over 60 years, Santa has allowed us to help manage the hundreds of thousands of special letters he receives from boys and girls across the country.
“His special team of elves at Royal Mail especially enjoy taking a peek at what children are asking for as well as helping Santa reply to these special letters.”
Once all this year’s letters have been received, Royal Mail will reveal the definitive guide to what children actually want for Christmas, with a ‘Top 10’ list of the most wished for toys, in a unique poll based on the children’s own letters.
