Letters to Santa/Father Christmas

I wondered what people do for this?

Do you send a reply from Santa yourself?

Use the Royal Mail one?

Or do you do a charity one, and if so, which?

I wouldn’t be using Royal Mail this year, they are going to be really, really busy. I would post my own reply through letterbox.

I've used Royal Mail in previous years. It's quite good.

The nspcc do great letters online, no set charge but suggested donation is £5

We've had them for years and they've always been fantastic

We use the NSPCC one. They're great

I’ve not used the NSPCC one before, going to have a look now.

My kids have never had a reply! They send them up the chimney. There was once a panic when dh got the kids to do them and sent them up (burned them) while I was at work but had neglected to read them first so had no idea what was on them!

@OakleyStreetisnotinChelsea did you have to break the news to him that FC isn’t real? Grin

We’ve never had a reply either, except ds’ first year when I wrote one in the style of Tolkien and dh vetoed pretentious literary allusions when it came to Christmas. He was probably right but ...sigh.

My boys are too old now but I would write them each a letter in my special “once a year Father Christmas” handwriting. It always mentioned a couple of good things they had done during the year Smile.

And explained why he could not deliver when impossible presents were requested - “a pet monkey and the ability to fly” had to be covered one year.

I have kept the letters Smile

NSPCC every year.. they do good letters and many designs

I ordered a letter from a lady on Etsy. It’s beautiful. Her shop is Lunar Handwriting. I did think about trying to do it myself, but I’d spend a lot of the bits (nice paper and I wanted a wax seal) and it wouldn’t look as nice 😆

I’ve used the nspcc one a few times and it’s great. I used the Royal Mail one last year and panic was setting in as no reply was forthcoming! So I probably wouldn’t do that again. Off to look up that Etsy one though, it sounds lovely.

Saw this and thought it was lovely
