Christmas 2015: Here's Where Your Kids Can Write Letters To Santa & Get a Reply

Santa is real for a lot of kids! If you're planning to keep this tradition alive, there are a few institutions that will help you make Christmas more memorable for your children. Below is a list of places where kids can send their letters to Santa and receive a reply:

1) Do it traditionally with snail mail. Follow the procedure on how to send letters to Santa via the United States Postal Service (USPS) website. The government agency also offers some tips on what to write and there's a downloadable template provided as well. USPS advises that all letters must be sent before Dec. 15, 2015 to ensure that the child will get a response by Christmas. The mail must have a first class stamp.

If you're in the United Kingdom, the Royal Mail also offers a similar service. Letters to Santa must be in by Dec. 6, 2015 as the jolly bearded man expressed he will be busy in the coming days and might not be able to reply to letters that don't arrive earlier, per Independent.

2) Send through Macy's "Write A Letter To Santa Claus." The chain department store will celebrate National Believe Day by Dec. 11, 2015 and your child's letter will also benefit a good cause. For every letter that Macy's receive, the company will donate a $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. On National Believe Day, the company will be donating $2 for every Santa letter. Drop this off at any Macy's store in your local area. For additional details about this, check the Believe site.

3) Write letters digitally and receive replies this way, too. By writing Santa through Elf on The Shelf, your child will receive an audio reply on the email. You can also send letters via Email Santa and then watch as Santa actually reads this in a video.

4) Buy a Santa letter to give to your children. The Santa Claus house has been doing this service to parents for decades now, as stated on their website. The letters come with its custom stationery, you will just need to fill out the details and make the payments. Your child will receive the mail with a postmark from North Pole.
