We spoke to Santa yesterday (on our special Santa Phone) and he was really happy to hear that all of the Ballerinas are dancing beautifully.
The Sugar Plum Fairy very kindly sent us this info from Australia Post too!!!

Santa Mail Remember to write your letter to Santa this Christmas. Last year, Santa received over 120,000 letters from children all over Australia with requests for toys, pets and world peace. Australia Post will once again work with Santa's elves to ensure children who write a letter to Santa at his special address receive a reply. Make sure you send your letter to Santa before 17 December, to ensure you receive a reply before Christmas. Remember to write the address clearly, place a 60c stamp on the envelope and don't forget to include your return address on the back of the envelope, so Santa knows where to send a reply. Santa's special address is: Santa NORTH POLE 9999 An Australia Post postie meets Santa at a secret location to hand over children's letters. Every child who lives in Australia who writes to Santa will receive a special reply. Children are encouraged to get their letters in early to avoid the Christmas rush. See Santa's Mail from You Tube [wmv 14,605kb] Here is an example of how to address your envelope: Front of envelope Back of envelope

Click here for a selection of fun letterheads to use when writing your letter to Santa.

ps:We will be handing out special CCBB letterhead/stencils in class this week too!!
