An Post: Time to post Santa letters, kids

HAVE you posted it yet? Children wanting to contact Santa ahead of Christmas have been urged to get scribbling and post their wish list to the North Pole by next Tuesday at the latest.

An Post said yesterday that 80,000 letters have been posted to Santa from Irish children but that if anyone has not yet posted their list they need to do it now if they want a reply.

A spokesperson for An Post said there was no need to put a stamp on the letters to Santa, and the address as the North Pole will do. However, anyone writing and sending a letter to Santa needs to include their own name and address on the letter.
