ЁЯУо Important Tips for Success

Include a Return Address: Santa cannot write back if he doesn't know where you live! Make sure your full name and address are clearly written on the back of the envelope and inside the letter.

International Postage: If you are mailing a letter to a different country (e.g., from the US to Finland), you must use international postage stamps.

Send Early: Most postal services recommend sending letters by December 6th–10th to ensure a reply arrives before Christmas.
