USPS COMMUNITY ALERT

USPS Operation Santa

There is still time to write Santa Letters this Holiday Season!!!

Step 1:

Write Santa’s mailing address in the middle of the envelope. Please be sure to use this exact address:

Santa

123 Elf Road

North Pole, 88888

Also, write your full name and address in the upper left corner. Then, apply a first-class stamp in the upper right.

Step 2:

Print out one of the letter templates from the USPS website below or your own to write your letter

Step 3:

Be sure to include relevant details with your request. So, for example, if you ask Santa for ballet shoes, tell him what size you are. If you have siblings who also need presents, tell Santa their ages.

Read these past letters to Santa for some ideas for writing your own.
