A chara, – Greetings to everyone from the North Pole!
Christmas is fast approaching and the elves are working at full pace to get all the toys and gifts ready to load onto the sleigh this Christmas Eve.
Letters are pouring in from all around the world, so I would like to remind all the boys and girls in Ireland to write and post their letters to me as soon as possible. All the boys and girls need to do is write their letter and pop it in an envelope addressed to “Santa Claus, The North Pole”; write their own name and full postal address (in very clear handwriting) on the top left-hand corner of the front of the envelope; stick on a 72 cent stamp; and post it in any postbox or at your local post office – that’s important!
It’s that easy!
My good friends in An Post will make sure your letter reaches me safely, and they’re helping me to reply to as many children’s letters as possible before Christmas.
I wish all your readers a happy and peaceful Christmas. – Is mise,
SANTA CLAUS,
The North Pole.
