You can receive a free Christmas Letter from the North Pole from Santa!
Santa is very busy during the last part of the year.
The elves are all busy making toys, and working long hours and late into the night to ensure that your presents get there on time. Rudolph along with the other reindeer are getting prepared to take their long journey, and making decisions on which snacks to take with them and reviewing their navigational skills.
The year’s wrapping paper is being chosen by Santa and Mrs Claus is scolding Santa to eat fewer of the mince pies this year that people leave out for him (since he might have gained a bit of extra weight last year).
Although the North Pole is really far away, it is still possible to write a Christmas Card or Letter to Santa – in fact he really loves hearing from people!

All of the letters are personalised for every child to make it a very unique and special gift.
Royal National Institue of Blind People (RNIB)
