Santa’s Mailbox Located at Newtown Athletic Club

Need some magic this holiday season? Write a letter to your favorite holiday icon, Santa Claus! Starting Monday, November 24th, the Newtown Athletic Club (NAC) encourages and welcomes the community to drop-off their handwritten letters to Santa Claus at The Club. Santa’s mailbox, located out front of the main entrance of the NAC, will be accepting letters from November 24th-December 24th.

Letters to Santa Claus is a fun and festive initiative for people of all ages. All are welcome to write a special note, draw a picture, or share a holiday wishlist in a letter and drop it off in Santa’s magical mailbox.

The official U.S. Postal Service address for Santa Claus is 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888.

To guarantee delivery to the North Pole, through USPS Operation Santa®, letters must be mailed by Monday, December 12th and include the child’s full name, complete address with zip code and a first-class postage stamp. USPS Operation Santa® makes it possible for people to adopt and respond to the letters, fulfilling the holiday wishes of children and families across the country.

The Story Behind USPS Operation Santa®

Since the program was created in 2017, the goal for the future is, and has always been, to help more children and families in need have a happy holiday when they otherwise may not — one letter to Santa at a time.

Every year, thousands of letters addressed to Santa arrive at the Post Office™. Shortly after the letters are received, they will then be posted on USPSOperationSanta.com, so others can respond to the holiday wishes from their community. USPS Operation Santa® invites people to adopt and respond to these letters that are written by children and families. Please note, USPS Operation Santa® relies solely on random acts of kindness and the generosity of strangers. More letters equals more magic.

How it Works

A letter to Santa should be placed into an envelope, addressed to Santa’s official address and placed in Santa’s Mailbox, located at the main entrance of the Newtown Athletic Club. From there, Santa’s Elves at the Post Office™ will sort, read, and publish the letters on their website (with personal information redacted). Adopters are then able to browse and select letters they love and respond with a gift and a note.

How to Write a Letter

The letter doesn’t need to say anything specific, but it does help adopters when specific details on child age and gender are specified. Games and book titles, sizes (infant, toddler, teen, etc), colors, etc., also make it easier for the letter adopter to know what kind of gift to purchase.
