For more than 60 years, Royal Mail has been sending children’s letters to the North Pole.
The ‘Santa Mail’ scheme is now underway, with hundreds of thousands of letters expected from all over the UK.
The company’s chief elf, Lisa Luveniyali, said: “Royal Mail plays a very special part in the nation’s Christmas preparations.
“We are proud that for over 60 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 use a stamp and include your full name and address on your letter so Santa can reply to you.”
Letters should be sent no later than Monday, December 9.
