Kids wanting to send a letter to Santa this year can do it – and get a reply – but only if you’re fast. The reminder comes as financial experts at Martin Lewis’ Money Saving Expert (MSE) issued a warning in their weekly newsletter about the festive season.
According to MSE, as part of their Christmas Deals Predictor, you can send and receive a letter to Father Christmas – and the deadline is less than a month away. It explained: “Some companies charge up to £10 to reply to kids’ letters to Father Christmas.
“Yet if you apply to Royal Mail, you could get a response from Santa for the price of a stamp (£1.70 first-class, 87p second-class).” The deadline this year is Wednesday, December 10.
Did you know that braille replies can be arranged by customers emailing santamail@royalmail.com. And in a new addition this year, children can get BSL replies, which customers can arrange if they email santamail@royalmail.com.
As stated on the Royal Mail Group website, you need to act quickly to ensure Santa has time to read the letters. In a statement, Santa said he’s looking forward to Christmas and that it’s a “very exciting but busy time for me.”
He added: “The elves are busy making toys. The reindeer are practising their sleigh runs. And I’m busy preparing my list of who’s been good. I will be getting my sleigh ready for the long journey on Christmas Eve. In between I will try and reply to as many of you as possible.”
Please send your letters to:
Santa/Father Christmas
Santa’s Grotto
Reindeerland

Don’t forget
The Royal Mail have asked people to write Santa’s address carefully on the envelope. You should also remember to put a stamp on the envelope so it reaches Santa in time – and don’t forget to include your full name and address on the back of the envelope.
Santa concluded: “I’m looking forward to delivering your presents on Christmas Eve. Make sure you remember my mince pie and Rudolph’s carrot!”
