Dear Santa....

Father Christmas is working with Monaco's La Poste for the 4th year running.

With just 3 weeks to go, Santa Claus is enlisting the help of post office workers in the Principality so that kids can send him their Christmas wish list. To write to Father Christmas, children should put a letter or picture in an envelope addressed to Pere Noel and post it in any letter box in Monaco, or the dedicated mail box in the entrance to the Metropole Shopping Gallery on avenue de la Madone. Alternatively, Father Christmas can receive emails from the post office website.

All letters addressed to Pere Noel will receive a reply before 24th December, as long as Mums and Dads make sure a return address is clearly written on the envelope or letter.

While you're waiting, here's maBoum's list of festive events up to 23rd December. Click through for more information:
