Christmas is such a magical time for children, not least because of their belief in Father Christmas. Being on the ‘good list’ and getting a present in a stocking, or making the ‘naughty list’ and simply receiving some coal, is enough to incentivise kids to behave a little better.
While your little ones might still believe in the festive father figure it is good to provide proof so as to extend the illusion and have them continue to believe that they must behave in order to be in with a chance of a troop of flying reindeer landing on their roof and a fat bearded old man wedging himself down the chimney.
Grottos have been set up across the country, everywhere from shopping centres to festive events, so little ones can sit on the lap of the old guy himself and reel off what gifts they want.
However, there is also another way to show that Santa Claus is indeed coming to town. Children can actually post their wish list letter or card to Father Christmas through the Royal Mail and get a personalised reply from ‘Santa’ himself.

You just have to send a letter or card to Santa via the Royal Mail by the end of the week as the deadline is looming. You’ll then get a response from Lapland’s man in red although it will in fact be written by our very own postmen in red, the hardworking Royal Mail.
To receive a personalised letter you must include your full name and return address on the envelope so they know who to address the response to. Additionally, when be sure to make out the letter to: Santa/Father Christmas, Santa’s Grotto, Reindeerland, XM4 5HQ
Do not forget to include a stamp on the envelope, as you would to any other correspondent and then post it through any Royal Mail letterbox.
Well worth doing as new data has said that google ruins Santa Claus for over 1.1 million children each year. The study, carried out by Exam Paper Plus, found that the term ‘Is Santa real?’ is googled that many times by kids annually.
Now the teachers want the massive tech company to amend the search results to protect children from stumbling across the answer. Perhaps it’s best that kids stick to paper and pen to ask questions instead…
