Santa Claus PO

[rae519]

Santa Claus, Indiana has a special program for handstamping a picture postmark to cancel the postage stamps on holiday mail beginning Dec 1.

Guidelines -

1) allow at least a 2" x 4" space in the stamp area for the postmark

2) have cards already stamped before mailing them - mail in a sturdy box or envelope to: Postmaster, Santa Claus Station, Santa Claus, IN 47579-9998.

Usually a half million pieces of mail come to this PO which has a normal average of 13,000/MONTH!!! Incredible!!!

The Southern Indiana Post Office is the only Santa Claus Post Office in the nation!


They will also do "Santa Letters" - legions of volunteers will answer mail from children - the Santa's Elves are non-profit but please put a stamp on your return LEGIBLE self addressed envelope. A donation would be much appreciated, but is not necessary or required. (my opinion, just good manners!!!!)

Children wishing to write to Santa can do so at -

Santa Claus
P.O. Box 799
Santa Claus, IN 47579


Have a wonderul holiday but remember even though Santa is fun, Jesus is the reason for the season.

God bless all,

Rae
