An Post have issued a Santa letter update.

As everyone knows, this time of the year is hectic for Mr Claus and all his elves, so to make things easier, the national postal service has some advice for the children of Ireland.

The jolly red man reached out to An Post to make sure all the children across Ireland get everything they wish for.

In a statement from Santa he wrote, “Season’s Greetings to everyone from the North Pole! Letters are pouring in from all around the world so I would like to remind all
the boys and girls in Ireland to write and post their letters to me as soon as possible.

“I especially enjoy the colourful pictures they draw of Rudolph and me. The elves are busy making sure all the toys are ready in time for Christmas.

“They’re adding some magical elf dust to ensure all the toys are just right.”

Santa then issued a few helpful guidelines for all Irish boys and girls to follow which included:

  • Write their letter to me straight away
  • Put it in an envelope, seal it and address it to ‘Santa Claus, The North Pole’
  • Write their own name and full postal address (in very clear handwriting) on the top left-hand corner of the front of the envelope
  • Stick a €1.35 stamp on the top right-hand corner and
  • Post it in a green An Post post box – that’s important!

Mr Claus concluded by writing, “It’s that easy! My friends in An Post are helping me to reply to as many children’s letters as possible.

“I hope you all have a very happy and peaceful Christmas. Very best wishes, Santa. P.S. Rudolph is looking forward to all the treats children leave out for him on Christmas Eve!”

So what are you waiting for? Get writing!
