My 4.5 year old daughter ’s really excited about Christmas, and this is one time in the year, that we create a lot of snail mail (posted mail) for friends and family around the world. And of course, a very special letter goes out to Santa to say a big thank you in advance for the gifts we know he’s going to bring!

This year, we eagerly waited for a Santa letter; something I learnt that Canada Post does for it’s clients. It’s brilliant- the children receive a real letter from Santa, complete with ‘personalized’ comments and a penned in signature! My kids were thrilled and when I read it; I couldn’t help smiling. Here’s part of what Santa wrote:

“You know, when I’m traveling in my sleigh on Christmas Eve, I’m always amazed by how beautiful our planet is and how much I  wish to protect it. Mrs Claus always packs my cookies in my favourite reusable lunch bag for my long trip around the world. She knows how much I love her cookies!”

We’ve lived in a lot of countries/continents around the world- Asia, Europe and the Middle East-before finally settling on Vancouver. And it’s a choice that time and time again I’m so happy we’ve made. Santa too has gone green here; and that’s a true miracle!

Merry Christmas!
