Time to Write to Santa

Find out how Hampton kids can take part in our Letters to Santa program!

Our ‘Letters to Santa’ program has begun.

The Hampton Recreation and Parks Department, with assistance provided by the Hampton Post Office and local volunteers, is once again offering Hampton children the opportunity to write and send letters to Santa Claus!

Children are invited to write their own letters to Santa, or draw a picture for him. Parents are asked to help them include their full name and age, as well as their full return address on both the letter and the envelope.

Parents and well-meaning adults are also reminded to let children write their own letters. And, because children deserve Santa’s full attention, please do not ask to have letters from Santa written to pets.

Santa will begin writing letters on Friday, Dec. 2, and will send a personalized letter back to each writer in Hampton, direct from the North Pole.

Due to the volume of holiday mail, the final date to send letters to Santa is Wed., Dec. 21 as Santa wants to make sure all letters are answered and delivered.

Letters should be sent to Santa Claus, c/o Hampton Post Office, 48 Stickney Terrace, Hampton NH 03842. Letters may also be dropped off at the or at the Hampton Recreation and Parks Department office at 100 Winnacunnet Road in Hampton. For additional information call 926-3932.
