There’s Still Time to Write Your Letters to Santa with The USPS Operation Santa Program. Here’s How.
Santa has already started reading letters for the holiday season and the USPS is Santa’s lead helper.
Operation Santa, a program run by the USPS allows children to write down their Christmas wishlist to Mr. Claus in the North Pole.
Each letter that is sent to Santa is then published online for individuals to read, adopt, and to fulfill a child’s Christmas wishlist.
But before helping your kid(s) craft a letter, there are a few must-do’s to remember that Santa requires in each letter.
Your full name and address is required to be written in the letter (but don’t worry, all personal information is removed by USPS before uploading onto the internet), as well as grouping all of your children’s letters into one envelope to make it easier on Santa.
Parents must also address the envelope to Santa’s address in the North Pole which can be found on the USPS website, here.
Your full name and return address along with your apartment number (if applicable), must also be written in the upper left corner with the correct amount of stamps.
Parents and children must send their holiday letters to Santa by December 11, and the last call to officially adopt a letter to fulfill a Christmas wishlist is December 18.
The USPS recommends to drop off all packaged presents by December 18 so they arrive before Christmas day, however, the final day to ship presents with Operation Santa is January 10.
