Thanksgiving is over, and the countdown to Christmas is officially on! That means it’s time to start sending letters to Santa. Whether you’re going to send the letters in the mail or give it to him when you’re at one of the awesome holiday events in the South Central PA area, these printables will take your Santa mail to the next level this year!
We’ve come up with some different options to work for kids of various ages, so if they’d rather draw than write, or happen to be a bit of a wordsmith, we’ve got you covered! And if you do want to send your letter in the mail, there are a few different options.
USPS Operation Santa accepts letters from children, which are published — with identifying information redacted — on their website. Others can sign up to adopt one of the letters, and fulfill their holiday wishes! Send the letter in a envelope with a first-class stamp to:
Santa
123 Elf Road
North Pole, 88888
Another option is the Santa Claus Museum, where volunteers will read and respond to the letters! For your child to get a response from Santa and his elves, send your letter in a stamped envelope toi:
Santa Claus
PO Box 1
Santa Claus, IN 47579
And now, on to the printables!
