Santa calling all kids to send mail
Kids love to write to Santa at this time of year and many countries including the USA, Canada and Australia provide special postal deliveries to the North Pole. Some allow email while others require a letter.
AUSTRALIA - In Australia, kids can write to Santa at the following address:
[center]Santa North Pole 9999[/center]
Aussie kids will get a response in the form of a personalised letter or postcard from Santa himself, provided their letters are stamped and addressed correctly (including a correct return address on the back)! Children are being urged to start sending their lists and letters to the North Pole as soon as possible, with Christmas now little more than a month away! Australian children sent over 100,000 letters to Santa last year. Australia Post have promised to donate 10 cents to charity for each correctly addressed letter.
