Celebrate the magic of Christmas by writing to Santa and receiving a response.

Santa is using the Gatton and Laidley Libraries as a collection point for his letters. If you drop them into his special mailboxes by 13 December, either Santa or Mrs Claus will respond.

Any letters dropped off after this time will be sent to Santa but he won't have time to respond, he's told us he's busy packing his sleigh.

You can write your own letter or print the templates provided - please remember to include your name and address if you want a response.

A letter to Santa (template for the little ones)
A letter to Santa (template for the older kids)
