CHRISTMAS is just around the corner – have you sent your letter to Santa yet?

It’s not too late to send your wish list to Santa!

Excited youngsters living on a Latchford estate can send a letter to the big man himself this year courtesy of one mum’s creative idea.

For the last few years, Aimee Mole and her young children have decorated a golden post box where the smallest members of the family on Edgewater Park 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 - two-year-old Louis, Lacey, who is three, and four-year-old Amelie.

Aimee, who is 34, 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.

Do you want to send a letter to Santa this Christmas?

Each year, around 250 letters are posted in the golden post box and Aimee puts them all into a special book for Santa to read.

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 20.
