CHRISTMAS magic is in the air, and there’s no better way to spark holiday cheer than with a personal reply from Santa himself.
The UK Post Office has announced that Santa’s official mailbox is now open — but you’ll need to act quickly if you want to hear back from the big man in red.

Wondering how to make sure your letter reaches him in time?
Here’s everything you need to know to bring a sprinkle of Christmas magic into your home this year.
All letters to Santa must reach him by December 9 to ensure he has enough time to respond before diving into his Christmas Eve preparations.
Begin by writing a heartfelt note to Santa.
Include your Christmas wish list and let Santa know if you’ve been good this year!
Make sure to include your name and address in the letter, so Santa knows exactly where to send his reply.
Santa is happy to reply in English, Welsh, or Braille, making it a magical experience for everyone.
Santa’s elves start replying to letters from November 18, but you must ensure your letter arrives no later than December 9.
After that, Santa’s schedule becomes too busy as he gears up for the big day.
Address your envelope as follows:
Santa/Father Christmas
Santa’s Grotto
Reindeerland
XM4 5HQ
For those too excited to wait for Santa’s reply in the post, the UK Post Office also offers a downloadable reply card in English, ensuring a piece of Christmas magic is only a click away.
It comes after a sassy teenager wrote a very demanding letter to Santa and used a genius tactic to ensure she gets what she wants.
Thirteen-year-old Luna took things in to her own hands and demanded things from Santa, claiming she had one of his elves locked up.
Luna had her older sister Ale share her letter on Twitter where she got nearly 154k likes and lots of comments.
The family from California, USA, cleared up that for traditions sake they ask Luna to write a letter every year, she is not an iPad kid and she already knows Santa is not real, but: “She’s having fun and being the kid she is.”
In her letter, Luna wrote: “Dear Santa, What I want for Christmas is a PS5 and games for it.
“I also want a Barnes and Nobles gift card cause I’m smart like that fr (for real).
“By the way one of the games should be Final Fantasy 7.
“I also want Legos and clothes.”
The letter then took a very sinister turn as she wrote: “I got one of yo elfs held up in my basement.
“If you want that homie free better get me my stuff ong (on god).
“An ipad or mac sounds good to me.
“P.S Don’t try sending yo little foo’s I keep this place strapped.”
She then had a drawing of the ‘elf locked up’ as well as a cat and herself.
Many were impressed with the girls ‘bold’ threatening letter but were perplexed by her anger.
