Children have until December 20 to send their dreams, wishes and drawings to Santa Claus, whose famous secretariat installed by La Poste in Libourne (Gironde) reopened its doors on Wednesday.
By traditional or electronic letter
Children can write to Santa Claus in two ways, opting for a traditional letter or electronically, recalled La Poste, which opened this secretariat for the first time in 1962.
On the envelope of their letter, children can simply write “Santa Claus”, without forgetting to write their address and name on the back so that they can receive a response. The letter to Santa does not need a stamp.
Children can also choose the electronic version on the site “pere-noel.laposte.fr” by choosing “Write to Santa Claus”.
A million letters every year
Santa Claus and his sixty elves undertake to respond free of charge, in French or English, to all the children and schools who have chosen to make “this adventure a collective and educational experience”. A teacher's kit is accessible via the site.
Children will receive “a beautiful letter from Santa Claus accompanied by a postcard to color in,” promised La Poste.
The group receives more than a million letters to Santa every year.
