Are You Looking To Connect With Santa This Season?
The time to write letters to Santa Claus has arrived! Growing up, I remember having to write a letter to Santa to place under my pillow 11 days before Christmas, or maybe it was 21 days. After all, Santa needed time to make wishes come true. However, with the advance of technology, children now have their pick of snail mail or email, traditional response times or instant gratification.
Snail Mail
Sending a physical letter to Santa can be one of the most exciting things kids will do this Christmas season. Do you know what is even more exciting? Receiving a reply from the Big Man himself. Some of the following places send replies!
Macy's "Write a letter to Santa Claus"
Deliver your child's letter to Santa at a Macy's closest to you. For every letter that Macy's receives, they will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish foundation up to $1,000,000. On December , 2017, which is National Believe Day, Macy's will donate $2 for every letter received.
United States Postal Service (USPS)
Follow the instructions here and use the tips given! Letters must be received by the Anchorage, AK, Postmaster no later than December 15, 2017. Santa's helpers will take care of the rest. The cost is a first class mail stamp. The above link is TO Santa, Click here for FROM Santa.
Santa Claus Museum Village
Every letter to Santa received by December 21, 2017, will receive a letter back from Santa Claus himself! The earlier you can send in your letter, the better. To help pay for postage, donations are greatly appreciated. All donations can also be mailed to Santa at PO Box 1; Santa Claus, IN, 47579
If your children are like me and love interacting with Santa instantly, try some of the following websites.
Kids just have to fill out their first names, how good they've been and what they would like for Christmas. Submitting this information returns an instant reply from Santa along with clipart. Your child can also check to see whether he or she is on Santa's list!
Write a letter to Santa and receive an audio recording from him!
You can submit your child's first name, your email address and a letter from your child to Santa to receive an audio reply from Kris Kringle in your inbox! Package From Santa offers tons of fun too.
Children can watch Santa read their letter on camera! They have to just fill in the missing words in the letter to Santa and submit. No personal information is required except for a first name! This site has grown since last year so I've put it in a couple categories. It's a very complete site.
