Hello everyone!

I am going to make my students write a letter to Santa Claus tomorrow. I've already got everything, but I'd like to make it sound more real and REALLY make them send their letters.

I know that there are addresses to where we can write to (and even get the answer from "Santa Claus"). I am doing a search at google but there are so many hits that it's kind of difficult.

Does anyone know one of these addresses? Preferably in the North Pole or in... See more

Does anyone know one of these addresses? Preferably in the North Pole or in Laponia?

Thank you in advance!

Sure :) Nov 28, 2004

Dear Ivana,
This is the official website for Santa from the North Pole.

http://www.northpole.com

I am sure you will find a snail-mail address there (there is an email address there as well.) There are so many activities for teachers, parents and kids there as well

Have fun,
Monika

That must be some imposer Nov 29, 2004

Every Finn knows, that Santa Claus lives at Korvatunturi in Finnish Lapland. These days jetplanes bring British and other tourist families every day to Lapland to meet Santa. All in all 500 planes are expected this december.
But in Germany my mother had told me, that St. Nikolaus lives somewhere in Russia, but that's probably because she never heard of Finland before I moved there.

Thank you all Nov 30, 2004

I decided to give them the address "Santa Claus North Pole, H0H 0H0 CANADA". They really liked the idea that Santa CLaus could write them back.

Monica, the site you recommended only had the electronic address, but thank you anyway because it has lots of interesting things.

Thank you all.
Best regards,
Ivana

... because the North Pole has been claimed as Russian territory and marked on the sea ground with a Russian flag in 2007 by Russian submarines.

Santa Baby,
Just slip a sable under the tree, for me,
Been an awful good girl ...
