lol, writing letters to santa

[breakingbrie]

So, I told my girls last night, that we're going to write letters to Santa today after school. They were so excited! Well, this morning when we were getting them ready for school they kept asking when we were gonna do it, I told them as soon as they get home from school - and Cait gave a big whoop and hollers 'I'm gonna write the letter N for Santa, cuz that's the letter we're learning this week!!!' LOL, my girls apparently have no idea what a written letter is... Duh, I didn't even realize. We've never written anyone a letter before, and they never see me write more than a little note here and there. So I had to explain that we're writing a 'note' to Santa, and we'll mail it to the North Pole, in an envelope with a stamp, and that's what a letter to Santa is.

*sigh* Growing up in an electronic age...

And I forgot to ask my question... lol. To anyone who has mailed letters to Santa, do you put an address on it, or just to Santa at the North Pole?

LOL! We're doing this on Saturday and they write a letter there and the elves take it to Santa and he knows their names and what they want when they go in to see him. It's pretty neat, actually.

I hadn't thought to do it with my kids this year but here in Canada, Canada Post has a Santa Letter-writing program, where the address is NORTH POLE H0H 0H0

I may just be writing letters with the kiddos tonight!! ~ thanks for the idea!!
