Just a heads up, letters to Santa at the North Pole aren’t delivered by regular mail carriers like the USPS. Instead, lots of organizations and volunteers around the world make sure kids’ letters to Santa get to him and get a response. Depending on where you live, there might be a group or organization in your area that collects letters to Santa and helps reply to them. You can check with your local post office or community center to find out more about sending a letter to Santa near you.

What Should a Santa Letter Include?

1. Greeting: Start your Santa letter with a personalized greeting like, “Dear Santa” or “Hello Santa”.

3. Wish List: Make a list of the things you are dreaming about as Christmas presents. Try and be as specific as you can.
