Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus — and the U.S. Postal Service can help you prove it when Santa replies to your child’s letter — complete with a North Pole postmark.
Here are the steps for your child to get a letter back from Santa:
1)Have your child write a letter to Santa and place it in an envelope addressed to: Santa Claus, North Pole.
2)Later, when alone, open the envelope and write a personalized response.
3)Insert the response letter into an envelope and address it to the child.
4)Add the return address: SANTA, NORTH POLE, to the envelope.
5)Affix a First-Class Mail stamp, to the envelope.
6)Place the complete envelope into a larger envelope with appropriate postage and address it to:
North Pole Postmark
