Santa's helpers in An Post will make sure you receive a personal reply from the great man himself, just before Christmas." Not bad for 55c, but you know...rabble, rabble, rabble and all that.

You do know every single child who sends a letter to Santa through An Post gets a personal letter back addressed to them. I remember getting them & loved it, made my day. Given the society we live in I think it is lovely An Post still do this and I bet it not cheap thing to do and An Post has been absorbing it for years so I think 55c is a small price to pay to see your child's excitment when santa writes back to them. Reminds me of Homer Simpsons attitude toward the voluntary suggested donation to gain entry to museum he was bringing Lisa to.

Myself n my bro got one every year when we were writing and this was in 80's and early 90's. There may have been one or two slip through cracks but I have never heard of children never receiving one. Now if you send ones that were not put in an An Post postbox well that nothing to do with An Post. For instance I know of a friend who child posted their letter through a certain shop Santa letter box and didnt get one. It was obvious the shop dumped letters n didnt put them through An Post. So if you have kids stick a stamp on letter post it early and watch the letter from Santa arrive. We have to trust you to tell truth & admit that one came to the child. : )

Just as well I hadn't mentioned they would get responses from the man himself or they would have been very upset. We posted two letters to Santa again this week but I am not holding my breath for replies.
