EXCITED youngsters living on Edgewater Park can send a letter to Santa this year courtesy of a Latchford mum’s creative idea.

Aimee Mole and her three young children have decorated a golden post box where children on the estate can write a letter to Father Christmas and post it to the North Pole.

Working as one of Santa’s festive elves, Aimee collects the letters and then hand delivers Santa’s replies with her three children - one-year-old Louis, Lacey, who is two, and three-year-old Amelie.

Aimee, who is 33, first put the post box on the estate in December 2020 when most grottos were closed due to Covid-19 lockdowns.

She also opened up her front garden where youngsters could meet Santa from a safe distance and collect his reply.

Each year, around 250 letters are posted on the Edgewater Park estate and Aimee puts them all into a special book for Santa.

She then creates a video to share on the estate’s Facebook page so that children can see that Santa has their letter and she writes the names of every child on a huge scroll (made from a roll of wallpaper) which she hangs from the upstairs bedroom of her home.

The post box will be open for children to send their Christmas wish lists to Santa until Wednesday, December 14.
