HOH OHO: Time to send your letters to Santa

The annual Canada Post Santa Letter-writing Program recently kicked off for what is expected to be another record year.

Already, tens of thousands of letters from all over the world have been received at Santa's North Pole Post Office and postal elves are busy handling the volumes and making sure that each of Santa's personalized letters are mailed back quickly.

Santa would like to remind the young and young-at-hearts about a few golden rules:
Don't forget your H0H 0H0. Santa's North Pole Post Office has the best postal code.
Santa Claus
North Pole
H0H 0H0
Canada

Please include your return address. While Santa knows where your house is, his postal team may need extra instructions, so please include your address to ensure your letter is delivered on time.

Postage is nice, but not necessary. You don't need to add a stamp, but Mrs. Claus loves to see stickers.

Send it soon. Send your letter by Dec. 16 to make sure Santa has enough time to read it and respond to you.


Canada Post's national Santa Letter-writing Program officially began 34 years ago, though local programs began even earlier.

For the past 14 years, the program has averaged one million letters or more a year, and in total answered more than 24.7 million letters.
