Chief elf Nollaig has a message for boys and girls from Santa

Sir,

Season’s greetings from all here in the North Pole Workshop to you and to all your readers!

Santa has checked his list and has asked if you would remind all the boys and girls to write and post their letters to him as soon as possible.

The workshop is buzzing with activity and Mrs Claus is busy adding some glitter and magic to all the toys and gifts while the elves are packing them.

Santa looks forward to reading letters from the children in Ireland, especially when so many children include colourful drawings of him, Mrs Claus and Rudolph. Mrs Claus likes to put these special drawings on the mantelpiece.

All the boys and girls need do is:

– Put their letter in an envelope;

– Write their own name and address (in very clear writing) on the top left-hand corner of the front of the envelope;

– Stick a 68 cent stamp on the top right-hand corner and,

– Post it in a green post box to: Santa Claus, The North Pole.

It’s as simple as that!

An Post is once again helping Santa to reply to as many letters as possible so it’s important that the boys and girls get writing and posting straight away.

I hope you have a Christmas filled with magic and lots of sparkle.

Yours, etc,

NOLLAIG

Chief Elf,

North Pole

PS, Rudolph and his friends have asked me to thank the boys and girls for all the carrots they got last year.
