Father Christmas is very busy at this time of year, so he is sending his Elves. They will bring a post box for your letter or a picture to Santa, but don't worry if you haven't yet written it ​as there will be paper and pencils for you to do at the event. There will also be an opportunity to decorate and personalise wooden baubles to take away and hang on your tree.
