In Great Britain, children traditionally write letters to Santa Claus during the holiday season. These letters are often addressed to Santa at his North Pole residence. Many people also take their letters to Santa to places like shopping malls or post offices, where there are special post boxes dedicated to Santa. In addition, some children choose to send their letters to Santa via Royal Mail, using a special postcode dedicated to Santa.
Santa's helpers work hard to ensure that every letter is received and read. In some cases, they even send personalized replies to the children who have taken the time to write to Santa. These replies often contain small gifts, such as candy or toys, to thank the children for their letters and to spread some holiday cheer.
