Its secretariat is not in Lapland, but in Libourne (Gironde). Santa Claus will be able to receive letters from children from this Tuesday until December 20, reported Correos. This is the 60th year in a row that these letters have been made possible. Children can write to Santa Claus in two ways, opting for a traditional letter or electronically.
On the envelope of their letter, the children can simply write “Santa Claus”, not forgetting his address on the back to ensure a response. The letter to Santa Claus does not need a stamp, you can also choose the electronic version on the website pere-noel.laposte.fr by selecting “write to Santa Claus”.
Santa Claus and his sixty elves – volunteer postal workers and temporary workers – agree to respond free of charge, in French or English, to all children and classes. The children “will receive a beautiful letter from Santa Claus accompanied by a coloring postcard that they can send to their family and friends,” specifies La Poste.
1.2 million letters last year
Last year, the public group received 1.2 million letters addressed to Santa Claus, according to a spokeswoman. Started in 1962, this free PTT service had at that time received 5,000 letters from children, who in return had found in their mailbox a standard reply written by the famous pediatrician and psychoanalyst Françoise Dolto, sister of Minister Jacques Marette Correos.
The minister had taken this initiative after learning that two postmen, Odette Ménager in Nueil-sur-Layon (Maine-et-Loire) and Magdeleine Homo in Veules-les-Roses (Seine-Maritime), themselves answered the letters sent to Papa Noel. he told La Poste.
