Free card from Father Christmas (Merged)

Hope that this has not been posted yet, if it has please forgive me!

Royal Mail are doing the free card from Father Christmas again this year. All you have to do is send your childs letter with their name and address on it to

Father Christmas
Santas Grotto
REINDEERLAND
SAN TA1

Remember to put a stamp on the envelope as its not freepost!

I sent for one of these last year for my little boy and he was so pleased when he got a reply!

    You can do it anyway. It's a free service the post office always run. Just put the letter in the envelope (with your address on it) and put it in the post box with the words 'Father Christmas' on it. You don't have to use a stamp. Then on about 22nd december you should get a letter from him.

    Ok so it's the cost of a stamp, but imagine your little one's face when they get a reply.

    Post their letter to Santa before 18th December to

    Father Christmas
    Santa's Grotto
    Reindeerland
    SANTA1

    and please don't forget to thank me if you find this post useful

    Sorry if i come across thick, but do you put the words 'father christmas' on the envelope, or is there a special post box around christmas time in the post office with the words 'father christmas' on?

    My mum said it was the postcode "SANTA1" you needed more than the rest of the address. But you just put it in the normal red Royal Mail box.

    What if I posted a letter with "Angelina Jolie" written on it. Do you think I would get anything back?
