Christmas, Santa, and Letters

Posted byVanya Wryter ConsultingPosted inLifestyleTags:, , ,

Many children around the world who celebrate Christmas wake up to presents from Santa on Christmas Day. Some children visited Santa at the mall before Christmas to tell him about the gifts they wanted. Some children write to Santa about their Christmas wishes.

The tradition of writing letters to Santa has a long history that has evolved over time. At first, the letters weren’t about getting toys. Over a century ago, Santa was writing letters of advice to children. He would comment on their past behavior over the year and how they could improve for the coming year! Santa (well, the parents) would leave these letters near the fireplace.

As it became more common to buy stamps in the 1860s, American children sent letters to Santa at the North Pole, where they believed he lived and worked. The tradition evolved to what it is today: children ask for toys they would like to see under the tree at Christmas.

In Canada, children can write to Santa and get a reply! For over 40 years, the elves at Canada Post sort all the mail that children have written to Santa. If they write a letter using the postal code HOH OHO, children can send the letter for free to the North Pole where Santa lives. Thousands of Canada Post volunteers help Santa to reply to all letters in the language that the letter was written in, including braille.

Websites such as emailsanta.com make the writing process easy for those who want to write a letter to Santa. You choose a stamp, go to a webpage with the skeletal structure of a letter, and fill in all the blanks. And just like that, presto, your letter to Santa is complete! You will also instantly get an answer.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
