An article in The Australian newspaper today reported that despite messages to Santa being available via email, SMS, etc, children still prefer to write an old fashioned snail mail letter to Santa like we all remember doing.

Writing a letter to Santa is more real than sending a message, and it allows children to get creative with the presentation, too.

A pile of red envelopes being place in the slot of a red Australia Post letterboxApparently, 6 million letters were sent to Santa in 2006 (glad the postal workers have been counting as Santa and the elves were too busy reading to count!) and that is likely to be less than this year’s total.

The Universal Postal Union represents 191 countries and has over 5 million people helping deliver letters and cards to and from Santa each year! That’s allows for a LOT of Santa letters!

Does your family write to Santa each year?
