USPS SANTA MAIL: Letters from Santa
1. Have your child write a letter to Santa and place in an envelope. Simply address it to SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. DO NOT put a stamp on this envelope. Let your child draw a stamp. Be creative!
2. When your child isn't around, maybe after bedtime, write a personalized response to your child's letter and sign it FROM SANTA.
3. Insert both letters into an envelope, don't seal, and address it to your child.
4. Add a return address to envelope, simply saying SANTA, NORTH POLE
5. Ensure a first class stamp is attached to envelope.
6. Place complete envelope into a larger envelope with appropriate postage and address to:
North Pole Postmark
Post Master
4141 Postmark Dr.
Anchorage, AK 99530-9998
Letters must be received by Anchorage Postmaster by December 15.. From there Santa's helpers and the post office will take care of the rest.
