Here are the steps for your child to get a letter back from Santa:
1.
Have your child write
a letter to Santa and place it in an envelope addressed to: Santa Claus, North
Pole.
2.
Later, when alone,
open the envelope and write a personalized response.
3.
Insert
the response letter into an envelope and address it to the child.
4.
Add
the return address: SANTA, NORTH POLE, to the envelope.
5.
Ensure
the envelope is affixed with a First-Class Mail stamp, such as a recently
issued Charlie Brown Christmas stamp.
6.
Place
the complete envelope into a larger envelope — preferably a Priority Mail Flat
Rate Envelope — with appropriate postage, and address it to:
North Pole Postmark
Postmaster
4141 Postmark Drive
Anchorage, AK 99530-9998
Postmaster
4141 Postmark Drive

“Letters
from Santa” must be received by the Anchorage, AK postmaster no
later than Dec. 15. Santa’s helpers at the Postal Service, will take care of
the rest.

experience on social media using #LettersFromSanta.
Tips
·
To save paper, write
on the back of your child’s letter. If you keep them together, your child will
also be able to recall what he or she wrote.
·
When responding as
Santa, make the response as personal as possible by highlighting your child’s
accomplishments over the past year. For example, helping around the house,
receiving good grades in a particular subject at school or participating in
community service activities.
·
This
is a great activity for Thanksgiving that the whole family can enjoy, including
parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other caregivers.
The
Letters from Santa program adds to the excitement of Christmas and is ideal for
interesting youngsters in letter writing, stamps and penmanship.
