it gives the kids an early lesson on not raising expectations too high. a valuable life asset for when they are older.

Especially when it comes to Royal Mail!

If it was a choice between the presents arriving from the land of internet in time, or a letter from Santa. I would choose the presents every time.

"Sorry little David, Your presents did not arrive in time from Amazon, but your letter from Santa did.."


(MSE Jamie, I gave you your first Thanks:))

If they offer it,they should do it
personally I dont know why they offer it!

What parents are too lazy now to do their own letter from Santa?! My sister does her own, and it's more personal like their achievements over the year, naming 2 of their friend's, what they want for Xmas etc.

Although you do get smart alec kids like me who queried at quite an early age why Santa's letter was always in my mum's (very very distinctive) handwriting... and why it always included a list of requested good behaviour directly advantageous to my mother (this one didn't dawn on me at quite as young an age)!

God I was a rotten smart-!!!! as a kid really!

I suppose you get what you pay for - if it was a free service, then you can't really complain if it lets you down. If you want to make 100% sure that your child gets a letter from Santa....send one yourself.

I didn't do it this year but 3 out of 4 of my children still got letters, unless they were running late from last year....

Way to advanced now in our house. We now send and receive emails from "Santa".

P.S : Costs nothing.

I forgot to include an SAE with my daughters letter but "Santa" replied to her anyway.

For the last 2 years my kids letters have arrived in Jan and Feb so didn't bother this year. Yes made our own and were much more personal and PNP is great. Oh and tracking Santa on Norad is always fab.

i wouldn't bother with letters from santa by royal mail they would probably charge you £1.19 saying the letter was over size. we sent four cards to family the same size and weight,3 got delivered the other one had to pay £1.19 because the first class stamp we put on was not enough rate yet the others got through. i have heard there was a few people had the same problem. i don't think i will bother next Christmas.
