Do you want to provide a child with a letter from Santa Claus?

Here’s how the U.S. Postal Service will help you get it done, complete with a North Pole postmark.

First, have the child write a letter to Santa and place it in an envelope addressed to Santa Claus, North Pole.

Later, when you’re alone, open the envelope and write a personalized response signed by Santa.

Then, put that response into an envelope addressed to the

child. Put the return address of Santa, North Pole, and put a first class stamp on that envelope.

Finally, place the envelope with the response into a larger envelope with appropriate postage and send that to North Pole Postmark Postmaster, 4141 Postmark Drive, Anchorage, AK 99530-9998.

The deadline is Tuesday, Dec. 15, to get a letter from Santa to Anchorage so it can be postmarked and returned in time for Christmas, Friday, Dec. 25.
