Write a Letter to Santa Claus - Santa's Address Around the World 2016

Last year, one of our Christmas activities with our children was to write letters to Santa Claus (read our post here)! We wrote to Santa at Engelskirchen in Germany, Slovakia and Canada, and we sent an online card for Santa at France. Guess what, all four of them replied us!

This is from France!

This is from Engelskirchen in Germany!

This is from Slovakia! It comes with a music CD!

This is from Canada!

This year, we will be sending an e-card to French Santa, it is free! Read the tutorial at the end of this post!

Tips on Writing to Santa

Tips #1
Remember to write your name and return address on the top left hand corner of the envelope!

Tips #2
If you do not want to spend too much on the postage, try to make the letter or Christmas card as light as possible (less than 20 grams). Refer to SingPost's airmail postage rate:

In 2015, we paid SGD1.30 for each letter to Canada, Slovakia and Germany.

Tips #3
If your children are too young to write letters on their own, you may prompt them to write the followings:
What is your name?
How old are you?
What are your Christmas wishes?
