Sir, – Hello to you and all your readers from a very busy workshop here in the North Pole!
I would like to remind all the boys and girls to write and post their letters to me as soon as possible. The workshop is very busy with all the elves working really hard to get the gifts ready in time for Christmas Eve.
I always look forward to reading letters from the boys and girls in Ireland, and I especially like it when they include lots of colourful drawings of Rudolph and Mrs Claus.
Boys and girls should write their letter to me straight away; put it in an envelope, seal it and address it to “Santa Claus, The North Pole”; write their own name and full postal address (in very clear handwriting) on the top left-hand corner of the front of the envelope; stick a 70 cent stamp on the top right-hand corner; and post it in a green An Post postbox – that’s important! It’s that easy! My good friends in An Post are helping me to reply to as many children’s letters as possible.
Rudolph’s nose is getting brighter by the day with excitement!
I hope you have a magical and peaceful Christmas. – Yours, etc,
SANTA CLAUS,
The North Pole.
