Dear boys and girls…

With Christmas just a few weeks away, we want to make sure that all our young customers’ letters to Santa reach the big man in time.

We've just received the below message from Father Christmas himself - he's as excited about Christmas as we are!

Dear boys and girls,

Christmas is a very exciting but busy time for me: the elves are making toys, the reindeer are practising their sleigh runs, and I'm busy preparing my list of who's been good this year.

I will be getting my sleigh ready for the long journey on Christmas Eve and in between I will try to reply to as many of you as possible. Please send your letters to:

Santa/Father Christmas,

Santa's Grotto,

Reindeerland,

XM4 5HQ

It's really important you write Santa's address carefully on the envelope, and that you put a stamp on the envelope so that it gets to me. Please be sure that you include your full name and address in your letter.

But most importantly, please send your letters to me by no later than Friday 6 December.

I’m really looking forward to delivering your presents on Christmas Eve. But please make sure you remember my mince pie and Rudolph's carrot!

Merry Christmas to you all!

Father Christmas.
