Get a free letter from Father Christmas!

The freebies sound like a good option to try, but if you're going to pay for one, can I suggest not a commercial operation but a charity. ChildLine (now part of NSPCC) have been doing these for years and they're pretty good: they just ask for a suggested donation of £5 a letter. http://www.nspccwishes.org.ukMSE_Natasha wrote: »Updated 25 November 2008What's this about?
Tons of companies are charging parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles a tenner a time to reply to children's letters addressed to Father Christmas. Yet there's an easy way to get a free reply.
How to do it
Children should post a letter, with stamp, before 12 December (though preferably earlier) to:
Santa, Santa's Grotto,
Reindeerland, SAN TA1
And according to the Royal Mail, Father Christmas will write back to them 'personally'.
Feedback
If you've done this in past years or are trying it for the first time now, please report back how it all went. Hopefully the kids will be as astonished and proud as I was when I got my letter 20-odd years ago!
