Did you know that Santa has a REAL mailing address?
I mean….like a REAL address? Did you know that the USPS has a program for over 100 years that allows you to receive letters from Santa postmarked from the North Pole? I had no idea. I stumbled upon it while I was writing my ‘Letters TO Santa’ post.
This is what I learned (directly from the USPS website) –
Have the child write a letter to Santa and place it in an envelope addressed to: SANTA, NORTH POLE.
Write a personalized response to the child's letter and sign it “From, Santa.”
Insert both letters into an envelope and address it to the child.
Add the return address: SANTA, NORTH POLE to the envelope.
Make sure a First-Class stamp is affixed to the envelope.
Place the completed envelope into a larger envelope, with appropriate postage and address it to:
NORTH POLE POSTMARK POSTMASTER 4141 POSTMARK DR ANCHORAGE AK 99530-9998
We recommend sending Letters from Santa by December 8th so that they can be received by the Anchorage, AK Postmaster no later than December 15th. Santa’s helpers in Anchorage, AK will take care of the rest!.

Wouldn’t it be fun if each of your children had a different letter to Santa?
Or they could choose the Stationery Set that they liked the best? I got you covered there….and created 10 different Stationery Sets for you and your kids. They are all so different you might have a difficult time choosing just one!
You read that correctly….there are:
TEN different Sets of Santa Stationery for you.
Each Stationery Set includes –
1 ‘To Santa’ letter
4 different ‘From Santa’ letters
1 blank for you to fill out by hand or print from your computer
3 different from Santa letters (examples are in the images below)
2 of the designs are below

Since the examples above are all the ‘FROM Santa' letters (and you don't want your kids to see them just yet!) –
Head on over to the ‘To Santa' letters post. Your kids can choose their design right there! Sound like a good idea?
I sure hope your children enjoy their letters. And I sincerely hope that you have a wonderful Christmas. Always remember…Jesus is definitely the reason for the season.
