Christmas is just around the corner, and to help children get into the festive spirit, Royal Mail has launched something very special.
Youngsters can write their letters to Santa Claus and have them sent to the North Pole - and he'll even send a response in the post.
There's only six weeks to go until the big day so children are urged to get their letters written as soon as possible to make sure they arrive to the North Pole in plenty of time for Christmas.
For 59 years, Royal Mail has been helping to make Christmas wishes come true by sending children’s letters to the North Pole.
And Santa’s team of helpers at Royal Mail are now gearing up to deliver the hundreds of thousands of letters sent to him by children from all across the UK.
Children should have their Christmas lists written and sent to Santa by no later than December 9 in order to get a special reply from the man himself - just make sure they have included their full name and address, including the postcode.
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 59 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. Don’t forget to include your full name and address on your letter so Santa can reply to you!"
Once all of 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.
To ensure Santa receives your letter on time, please make sure you write to him, using the correct address, on a stamped envelope.
