How to send a letter to Santa
How to send a letter to Santa> Step 1>Write the Letter
Have a chat with your Brisbane Kids about what they might like Santa to bring them. Remind them that Santa has lots of presents and that he needs to be able to fit it in the sled. Use the opportunity to talk about how to address a letter- this is a great literacy teaching moment where a ‘real world’ scenario can be used to teach. Write the letter.

How to send a letter to Santa> Step 3>Wait in anticipation
You can expect to receive a personalised response from each letter both on envelope and letter. Now we have been told you DO NOT to provide a return envelope and the mum that gave us this information has received responses without doing so- but if you feel better about it then I guess you could. How awesome is this!!! .. note that if you get any odd comments about Santa being in Germany a suggestion was made in regards to Germany being the location of his holiday home-
We hope you love our post on how to send a letter to Santa and we wish you a Merry Christmas!!!
