Martin Lewis has urged parents to get letters to Santa in the post today so their child can get one back for free.
The Money Saving Expert appeared on ITV’sGood Morning Britain where he told presenters Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard that letters need to arrive tomorrow, so send them first class today.
He said: “Each year, Santa’s elves at the Royal Mail can help you get a free letter from Santa, if kids write to him by early December.
“Technically, it isn’t 100% free as you’ll need to post your letter to Santa with a stamp (70p first class, 61p second). Just remember to include kids’ full name and address, so Santa knows where to send his reply.
“It’s also worth remembering things can go wrong, as we reported a few years ago in our Royal Mail fails to deliver news story. Royal Mail says it can’t guarantee a reply, even if you’ve sent your letter nice and early.
“So while a nice festive freebie, it’s a good idea to prep kids for disappointment (just in case) by reminding them Santa’s very busy – so may not write back to everyone.”
The deadline is tomorrow, so in order to get your little one’s letter in on time, you need to send it today via first class post to:
