How to get a letter from Santa this Christmas

With Christmas fast approaching, now is the perfect time for kids to start writing their letters to Santa – and this year, they can get one back.

Over the next month, Australia Post is running a special ‘Santa Mail’s project, where kids across Australia can post a letter direct to the North Pole and get one in return.

Children can download a Christmas mail template from the Australia Post website, then fill it in with their wishes, stories, and what they hope to find under the Christmas tree.

Depending on how long their Christmas list is, you may want to print out a few extra templates.

Once they’re done, have the kids pop the letter into an envelope with a 65 cent stamp on the front, as well as the name and return address on the back.

Then simply address it to Santa, North Pole 9999 and send it on its way.

You and the family can then track the letter’s long trip south with Australia Post’s cute Santa Mail Tracker.

It’ll let you know if your letter is still with Santa’s helpers, if it’s in Santa’s pile, or even if it’s on its way home to you with a response.

But you’ll need to be quick: Santa is super busy this time of year, so he’ll only be able to reply to letters posted by December 14^th.
