All I want for Christmas
With just over six weeks to go until Christmas, we are once again lending a helping hand to one of our most special customers, Father Christmas.
For 55 years, Royal Mail has been helping to make Christmas wishes come true by sending children’s letters to the North Pole.
Now Santa’s team of special helpers are gearing up to deliver the many thousands of letters sent to him by children from all across the UK.
Chief Elf, Axelle Galera, who ensures children’s letters reach Reindeerland at the North Pole, said: ‘Royal Mail plays a special part at Christmas. We are proud that for over 50 years, Santa has allowed us to help manage the hundreds of thousands of special letters he receives from boys and girls across the country.
‘His special team of elves at Royal Mail enjoy taking a peek at what children are asking for and helping Santa reply to these special letters. Don’t forget to include your full name and address on your letter so Santa can reply to you!’
Later this month, we will reveal the most definitive guide to what children actually want for Christmas, with a top 10 list of the most wished for toys.
To ensure Santa receives your letter on time, please make sure you write to him, using the correct address, on a stamped envelope.

Don't forget Santa needs to know your full name and address to reply.
Santa is happy to receive your cards and letters now but because of the very busy Christmas ahead, children should remember to post their letters no later than 7 December 2018.
Royal Mail and Christmas
Royal Mail is synonymous with Christmas. Since 1963, we have had the special privilege of delivering all the letters to Santa and his elves. We have also been helping him reply to the girls and boys each Christmas.
For 55 years, Father Christmas’s team of Royal Mail elves have found that along with toys, children still ask for a range of funny, touching and heart-warming requests.
Christmas is a very busy time of year and Santa will respond to as many letters as possible, in between getting the sleigh ready for the long journey on Christmas Eve.
