My son tried to e-mail Santa through the local hospital, but the address bounced back. He wrote such an awesome letter, that I want him to get a reply. But I want a SAFE place to send it. I thought about setting up my own account to reply, but I don't know if that would work.
Any body, with any suggestions, please, please, please, HELP!!!
This elf is getting worried!

Try www.northpole.com and go into the mailroom. A friend of mine let her son send in one there and he got a reply back in two days. Hope this helps!!!!! |

aimee30, what a cool site. I checked out the Norad Santa Tracker. www.northpole.com/NoradSanta.aspIt wasn't "tracking" the jolly old elf yet but I intend to go back later with Brooke so she can track him. Very cool. Thanks for sharing it. tridlette,I sent a test email today and I will see what I get back. If it is age appropriate, I will let you know. But I'm sure it will be.

Hi there is one: santa.claus@santaclausoffice.fi I´am not shure if they´ll write back,but I gues so. i just popped in their site at www.santaclauslive.com, it was nice. You can try also, www.santapark.com and/or www.santaclausplaza.com, if you want to visit in the homepages of finnish santa. Few suggestions... Marja |

tridlette,I sent a test email today and I will see what I get back. If it is age appropriate, I will let you know. But I'm sure it will be. Hey tridlette,  I got an email today saying that Santa had replied to my letter and to go back to the site to read it. They even sen tin the email the login and password that I used when I wrote my letter.  It was a harmless letter. He talked about the reindeer and getting the sleigh ready, etc.. I had said I wanted a bike and Santa said in his letter that he liked bikes and he used his to exercise with. He didn't say he was going to bring me it. I thought that was very responsible of the site operator. They aren't promising something that the parents have to deliver. So a very favorable opinion on this web site. I give it a big  |

Ralph, thank you sooooo much for the good site! My hubby and I set up our own e-mail account for our reply, and it was fun to answer the letter! I even sent the address to a few friends, and am willing to answer other letters to from "Santa Mouse". It was a favorite book of mine as a child, and so I borrowed the name. If anyone wants to have a very personal reply for their child, you can e-mail me and give me a heads up. I will provide you with the info. for the kids to get in touch.
Again, thanks to everyone for the help. I liked the idea that there were no promises. In the case of my address, I can make promises if anyone wants. Also, my girl friend requested that I remind her son that cursing isn't acceptable, and that he needed to slow down and think about his replies before a naughty boy word slipped. She said that he has been very good the last 3 days! I was glad that I had the opportunity to make an impression on this little guy!
To all a good night. Remember to leave a yummy treat out for Santa on the 24th!

OK, Ralph- You know way too many fun things on this computer! Where and how do you get all that fun stuff on your posts? I have online file storage account at www.Ripway.comIt's free and easy to use. I usually go to google to find whatever animated gif I am looking for at the time. Once I find it, I right click on it and "save picture as" into a folder I have set up for the gifs. I then log into ripway and upload the picture. Then I highlite the link to the picture and hit "ctrl C" to copy it. Then when I am posting I hit the 4th button from the left on the second row. (The one that looks like a picture). That puts a (img)URL(/img) in your post (only with square brackets). Then delete URL and paste (ctrl V) the link in between the brackets. Viola picture in a post. I know that all sounds pretty complicated, but after you ahve done it a couple of times it is really easy. Good luck and message me if you need any more help. |
