Ok... now to some of the questions we get. Oh, but first, my latest journal entries:

What if I want to have Santa send letters to more than one person in the same household (or more than one person on the order but different addresses)?

Each person on your order form will receive a different letter (different font, different wording, etc.).

Each person gets their own envelope.

Is each Santa letter tailored to the reader? Personalized?

Yes! Each letter includes the person’s name, town, and any comments you wish.

Do you send letters to anywhere in the world?

Worldwide delivery of Santa letters. Whereever there's a post office. Santa sends letters all over the world. Every country.

Who should I have Santa send letters to?

» Friends

» Children and their playmates

» Brothers/sisters

» Uncles/Aunts

» Cousins, nephews, nieces

» Mom/dad and grandparents

» Pets

» Coworkers/employees

» Girlfriend/boyfriend (or someone you wish would be!)

» Wife/husband

» Neighbors

» Anyone on your nice list!! Even people you'd like to get to know! How about someone you admire. Wow, what an ice breaker!

When will the Santa letters arrive? Will the letter(s) arrive on time?

The address on the envelope(s) is double-checked against the information you submit to us.

We strive to use post office suggestions (capital letters, no commas, clear writing, well spaced apart words, etc.) to ensure the fastest delivery to your door.

If we receive your order in October through December, letters will arrive in December, before Christmas. However, if you order at other times (unless you request otherwise), letters will be sent immediately.

How much do the Santa letters cost?

We charge a nominal fee to keep the lights on. Please check here for the latest prices.

How do I order a Santa letter?

1. Click here to get to the order form.

After you place your order, the elf order team will look over your order and then send you a confirmation email. We ask that you look it over and make sure it's correct. That's it! Oh, and one final thing: Prepare yourself for the expressions of delight from those you send letters to!

 What is Mrs. Claus’ favorite cookie recipe?

She has sooooo many. The Mrs. gets this question a lot, I tell you! So she decided to give everyone a list of her favorite desserts.

After you order, as a bonus, Mrs. Claus will personally forward you a link to her favorite goodie recipes (her top 111 favorite desserts). Oh, and she will also give you 3 other mystery bonuses.

What do the elves at the Santa workshop look like?

Here is a picture of a couple of elves meandering down a hill.

( Webmaster note: Photo removed - It has to remain a secret ).

Can you tell me exactly how to get to Santa's house or workshop... or both, oh, pretty please?

Sorry but we plumb don’t have enough cocoa to go around. Can you imagine how many millions of people would come if that leaked out? Also, wouldn't want to attract a lot of scientist types who would bother the flying reindeers something fierce. There are, of course, other reasons but you get the drift.

Santa Claus sometimes slips up when he writes a letter and reveals the longitude and latitude coordinates of his secret village in the North Pole. If you stumble across these secret numbers, please don’t reveal them to anyone.

Is there a money back guarantee?

You bet. Satisfaction is guaranteed. We want to see you back here every year!

Santa calls - Do you have a service providing calls from Santa?

Santa Claus will call anyone you wish - anytime.

Have Santa Claus call someone you know - Any day between now and Christmas... or even after Christmas.

The voice is that of a natural English speaking, older gentleman (British accent). He's a professional actor with years of experience.

Santa Claus is much respected English actor, Richard Carrington, who has spent many years playing the Vicar in BBC Radio's long running drama "The Archers".

Some tidbits about Santa Claus

The original Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, was born in Turkey in the 4th century. He is especially noted for his love of children and for his generosity. The Romans imprisoned him. But when Constantine became emperor of Rome, he allowed Nicholas to go free.

The Dutch kept the legend of St. Nicholas alive. In 16th century Holland, Dutch children would place their wooden shoes by the hearth in hopes that they would be filled with a treat. The Dutch spelled St. Nicholas as Sint Nikolaas, which changed to Sinterklaas, and finally, in Anglican, to Santa Claus.

In 1822, Clement C. Moore composed his famous poem, "A Visit from St. Nick," which was later published as "The Night Before Christmas." Moore is credited with creating the modern image of Santa Claus as a jolly fat man in a red suit.
