With just over three weeks until Christmas, Santa Claus has started making his list and checking it twice.

Boys and girls can write to Santa and drop their letters off at any Australia Post Office in the Myall Coast Region for express delivery to Santa.

Although Santa and the Elves are busy getting the sleigh and reindeers ready for Christmas, the bearded man in red has promised to send a reply to every child who writes to him.

Tea Gardens Post Office Manager Monica Back said they are always kept busy in the leadup to Christmas sending all the letters to Santa.

“We’ve looked after Santa’s Mailbox for the past two years and we personally make sure Santa replies to every letter,” she said.

“Letters need to be dropped into Post Offices by 16 December to make sure Santa has time to reply before Christmas.”

Judy Dixon from Bulahdelah Post Office said letters should be addressed to Santa Claus, North Pole, 9999.

“Make sure you put your name and address on the back of the envelope and a stamp on the front,” she said.

Letters are usually delivered to Santa’s Workshop at the North Pole, but Mrs Dixon told News Of The Area Santa Claus will be visiting some of the local Post Offices to personally reply.

Letters can be placed in the special Santa Mail Boxes at Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest, Karuah and Bulahdelah Post Offices.
