The postal elves of the north are reminding families to get their letters to Santa. Canada Post said all letters to Santa should be mailed by Dec. 11, so they can make the long trek to the North Pole in time for Christmas. Actually, children have the weekend to send their letters and drawings to Old St. Nick, as long as they are in the mail before Monday to receive the Dec. 11 postage. Canada Post's 2017 Letters to Santa PSANo postage is required on the letters, but Lapointe said to make sure to include a return address so that Santa can write back. Canada Post's elves are all volunteers and they spent 260,000 hours last year, helping Santa write back to kids.
