【明報專訊】“ Dear Santa

Christmas is drawing near! Eason is writing a letter to Santa Claus, confessing to his naughty ideas and fights with the Smarties. Will the Smarties really have peace and joy this Christmas? ”

Have you any wishes or thoughts you want to share with Santa Claus? Write him a letter, and you may get a reply. Since the Santa Claus in Finland (芬蘭) is busy reading piles of letters every year, you should perhaps consider writing to the local Santa Claus.

This year if you post your letter on or before December 22, it will reach Santa Claus in Hong Kong before Christmas. He will give you a Christmas card in return! Remember to mark "Hongkong Post Santa Claus" on your envelope and put down your address. You must affix the correct local postage (HK$1.7 for a letter weighing under 30 grams).
