　　This message is to inform all the children that Santa's post office in Himmelpfort, Germany, is open to receive your holiday wishes. That means you can mail your letters to Santa about 6 weeks sooner than that last year, Santa knows you've been good and wants to make sure he and his helpers receive your wish list earlier.
