If you have young children, you may be interested to know that there is an actual mailing address for letters written to Santa Claus: Santa Claus, North Pole, HOH OHO Canada. 13,000 volunteers (”postal elves”) reply to the letters every year in 16 different languages, and even Braille. And for technically savvy tots, there’s a website where Santa can receive e-mail, too: canadapost.ca/santascorner.
