Add a little magic to the season and receive a letter from Santa, mailed directly to your child. Santa will write a letter to your child in an easy to read format. The letter will be mailed directly from Santa’s workshop so your child will be overjoyed to see his/her name on the envelope with Santa's name and address in the corner.
