Santa reo on the sleigh
If you want a personalised postcard from Santa in te reo Māori, you’ll need to write to him in the next three weeks.
NZ Post marketing general manager Sarah Sandoval says it’s the third year that Kiwi kids have the opportunity to receive replies from Santa in two of the three official languages.
NZ Post’s writetosanta website got more than 40,000 visits last year, and Santa responded to almost 75,000 letters, in Te Reo Māori and English.
To make and send a digital postcard, visit www.nzpost.co.nz/writetosanta
The deadline for website requests for personalised postcards from Santa delivered in the post is Monday, 22 November.
From then, all online messages received by Santa up until 5.00pm, Wednesday 22 December will receive an email response. Email responses take 24 hours from when the online letter is sent.
Classrooms can get a postcard from Santa this through www.nzpost.co.nz/teacherswritetosanta before November 15.
The last day for posting handwritten letters to Santa to receive a reply in the mail is December 1, with that address Santa Claus
