Question

What if my handwriting is not that good?

Community Answer

It's okay. Santa reads so many letters that he's pretty good at reading messy handwriting. If you're really worried, you could type or your letter or ask a friend or family member to help you.

Question

What if I spelled something wrong, and Santa could not read it?

Community Answer

Have a parent or other adult check over your spelling before you send your letter. If you already sent it, don't worry. Santa's pretty smart, so he should be able to figure it out.

Question

Is there a limit to how many letters I can write to Santa Claus?

Ruby

Top Answerer

There isn't technically a limit, but one letter a year should be fine because he is very busy. You can put everything you want to say in the one letter.

Question

Why do they call him Santa Claus?

Ruby

Top Answerer

Santa means "Saint" and "Claus" is a shortened way of saying "Nicholas". So Santa Claus actually means Saint Nicholas, the saint who is associated with Christmas

Question

What does the post office really do with Santa's letters?

Gravity_Cipher

Community Answer

They deliver it to the North Pole, of course! Otherwise, how would Santa know what children want for Christmas? (It's possible that a few of the Grinchier offices might throw a few Santa letters away.)

When is the best time to write a letter to Santa?

Usually start writing the letter the first week of December ( so that he doesnt forget about it) and don't send it super close to Christmas Eve either.

Question

My friend keeps saying Santa isn't real and is ruining it for me and my little sister. What should I do?

Emily Cornn

Community Answer

Ask your friend to stop. If they continue, he/she may not be the best choice for a friend. Don’t let what they say get in your way of believing.
