Many youngsters will be eagerly anticipating Santa’s delivery of their desired Christmas gifts this year as the big day is one month away.
However, the jolly man in the red suit can’t fulfil these wishes if he’s unaware of what they are.
This is why countless children pen their annual letter to Santa, detailing their festive gift requests. Receiving a response from Father Christmas himself is a surefire way to reassure them that their wishes have been noted.
To maintain this enchanting tradition for your little ones, it’s crucial not to miss the deadline for Santa’s letter.
Mum Emma Louise, known on Instagram as @willow_andtheboys, took to the platform to inform other parents that the Royal Mail has disclosed the address for sending letters this year. They’ve also announced the final date for posting your letter to ensure a reply.
She posted a brief video captured at an ice skating rink, with all the necessary details overlaid as text. It stated: “Royal Mail have announced the last posting date for a free letter from Santa, which is December 9th 2024.
“Send your letters to – Royal Mail Letter From Santa, Father Christmas, Santa’s Grotto, Reindeerland, XM4 5HQ.”
The post garnered over 5,000 likes, with many tagging their friends to share the information.
The Royal Mail website advises that when sending a letter to Santa, you should carefully write his address on the envelope, affix a stamp to ensure delivery, and include your full name and address on the back of the envelope.
While the Royal Mail notes that replies from Santa are not guaranteed, Santa has said: “I’ll be replying to as many of your letters as I am able to from Monday 18 November; but there are a lot of you, so your letter needs to reach the North Pole by Monday 9 December.”
For those who require braille responses, the website mentions that arrangements can be made by contacting santamail@royalmail.com or by writing to the usual address.
