How to get a North Pole Postmark

Did you know that you can obtain the North Pole Postmark on a letter from Santa or on greeting cards?  Here's how to do it.

A letter from Santa

Write a letter to your child and sign it "from Santa." Place this letter into an envelope addressed to your child with the return address from SANTA, NORTH POLE. Please make sure you have a First-Class stamp affixed to the envelope. Place that envelope into a larger envelope, with appropriate postage, and address the larger envelope as indicated below.

On greeting cards
Write your greeting cards like you normally would. Place the cards into their envelopes, addressed and stamped as normal. Either have the return address from the NORTH POLE or from you and your address. Then place the greeting cards into a larger envelope or box, with appropriate postage, and address it to:
