When your child write a letter to Santa, Where does it go?

Question

I have always wondered what the parents of small children do when their child writes a letter to Santa Claus. Where do you put it, Do you just play along? I just want to know.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

In Canada, you can mail the letter to Santa at the North Pole.

The address is as follows:



Santa Claus

North Pole

Canada H0H 0H0



The letters go to Canada Post employee volunteers who read each and every letter. Your child will receive a reply from Santa too!

Answer 2

In my community the postal carriers collect the letters for Santa at the Christmas parade and every child who writes get a letter back from Santa.They are usually on a colourful page, containing no specific promises and the kids are excited get a reply.This service is free and even though the replies are generic ( usually a few versions so the replies seem more personal) the kids don't seem to mind.

Answer 3

In the past, Newark, NJ postal workers read through an average 6,000 Dear Santa letters per year. They forwarded letters to any members of the public who wanted to answer the Christmas wishes. Some postal worker bought gifts out of their own pockets. They accepted donations and gifts they would pick up for free from donors and then wrap and deliver to the children before Christmas.



Under the revised system, the post office will still hand out Santa letters to people who want to donate. However, people who want to give must come to the Post Office at Federal Plaza, present a photo ID and sign a contract holding the U.S. Postal Service blameless, "...against any and all causes of action, claims, liens, rights or interests of any kind or type whatsoever..."



The donor can then send the gift directly to the kid who wrote the letter. The donor must pay for the delivery.

------------------

Before you child mails the letter, have a short talk with your postal worker about what will happen to it in your town. In my town, there is a person who replies to all Santa letters with a story about an elf, Persnickle and the trouble he causes at the pole.

Answer 4

you can send it to the north pole- USPS plays along and takes the mail! The parent can even write a response and have it sent through the USPS North Pole Station in North Pole AK, so it looks really seasonal and santa-y.

Answer 5

In Canada, it goes to the post office, where someone reads it, and sends a response. Send it to Santa, North Pole, Canada H0H 0H0. last year the published a few really sad cases in the papers.

Answer 6

When I was little i wrote letters to Santa and we would go to the post office to put it in his special mailbox there. I'm sure most post offices have something similar.
