Are we too late to write an Xmas letter to FC?

[RosieLeaLovesTea]

Are we too late to write an Xmas letter to Father Christmas? What address do you use? Do the kids get a reply?
Feeling very disorganised re Xmas this year.
Really late elf on the shelf crap so wanting to get some other traditions going.

** sorry that should say hate not late!

10th of Dec is the cut off date

The nspcc do really nice, personalised ones. They ask a donation they’re worth it I’m my experience (we’ve had them from there for years, the cut off date is 9th Dec).

In my head letter to Santa is a 1st December thing

We do the letter around this time of year (well, this year DD only sends emails to me to forward them :-) The joy of having a teen.

She always left it around the fireplace and she would get a reply a week or so later.

You can do your own very personalied reply. I used to do them for my grandchildren. I typed them up in a fancy coloured scroll type font and inserted a Christmas border to the document. Printed them out on a thicker parchment look paper, or a heavier cream printer paper. I used matching envelopes in the printer, with typed names, and inserted a North Pole franking mark graphic I found online free. Drop them on the floor behind the front door and let them find them there. They're great fun and cheap to do.

Emailsanta.com used to be good (my dc are too old now) - you get a printable email back (and I'm not sure but I think you might be able to do letters on there too.

Thanks for this - something lovely to do with little Gdcs next weekend. Dd up to here with work so I doubt she’ll have got around to it.

Not at all, our used to go up the chimney on Christmas Eve.
