My son is 3 in January and this is the first christmas he's started to realise what is happening with Santa etc. i've promised him we'll write a letter to Santa but i've no idea where to send it...i want to write and post one rather than the new fangled E-mail idea...I still think some things should be left to tradition...!!! Many thanks Liz and Peter..!!

"Santa Claus
In 1974, staff at Canada Post's Montreal office were noticing a considerable amount of letters addressed to Santa Claus coming into the postal system, and those letters were being treated as undeliverable. Since those employees did not want those writing the letters, mostly young children, being disappointed at the lack of responses, they started answering the letters themselves. The amount of mail sent to Santa Claus increased every Christmas, up to the point that Canada Post decided to start an official Santa Claus letter-response program in 1983. Approximately one million letters come in to Santa Claus each Christmas, including from outside of Canada, and all of them are answered, in the same languages in which they are written.
Canada Post commissioned a special address for mail to Santa Claus, complete with its own dedicated postal code:
SANTA CLAUS
NORTH POLE H0H 0H0
CANADA

Things like this end up at the post office, where they are given over to groups who answer with either a present (if they are destitute) or a nice letter from a Postal Staff worker
You can put SANTA CLAUS NORTH POLE and it gets into the appropirate hands

My son is 7 and we've always addressed it to: Santa Claus
North Pole
It has never came back and once he even got a post card back (from the post office I guess). It said all the traditional stuff...thanks for writing, continuing being good, etc. It's in his baby book!

Ive heard that id you just address it to Father Christmas North Pole it will 'get there'. Where we live we have a huge mail box that is just for letters to Santa (santa-obviously u.s.) so the kids can put it in the mail box themselves.

We used to put our letters to Santa in the fire and say that it travelled to him in the North Pole by smoke signal. As we usually got the toys we wanted (or something similar) on Christmas Day, we assumed it worked and it was never a problem again. We did it every year.
