Australia Post is encouraging kids across the region to write a personal letter to Santa.
Bega Post Office’s postal manager Peter Truscott said the idea is popular each year with local kids.
“Our staff love sharing with parents and their children that they can post a letter to Santa using the Santa Mail Box because we know how special it is for the young kids to receive a reply from Santa,” he said.
Australia Post is also for the first time offering a large print service for families with children who have low vision.
“Christmas is a very special time of year for children of all ages, so we are pleased to be able to invite more families to get involved and celebrate the festivities,” Ms Skehan said.
“Santa Mail is not only a cherished Christmas tradition in many households, but also a wonderful way for children to practice their letter writing skills at school or home. Sending a letter to Santa is a fun and easy way to show kids how to address, stamp and post a letter.
“The fun doesn’t stop at the post box either, children can follow the progress of their letter through our new interactive online tracker and there’s plenty of other Christmas activities children can find on our Santa Mail website.”
Letters must be posted before midday on December 14 to receive a reply.
