Can you hear me OK? neoral 100 The fact that this avalanche of mail arrives in Finland at all is a tribute to the ingenuity of the international postal network. The workers manage to decode the most spidery children’s script and the world of topical make-believe scrawled on the envelopes: 'Father Christmas, Reindeerland’, 'Father Christmas, Top of the World’, a cheery 'Yer man Santa, Elfland’, and, most often, simply 'Father Christmas, Santa’s Grotto’. According to the Universal Postal Union, the trade body for postal services around the world, the letters to Santa result in six million extra items of mail for the world’s postal operators to process. Perhaps also there is business sense in their seasonal sentimentality – it is an unrivalled marketing opportunity. In the age of email, instant messaging and texting, a note to Father Christmas is probably the first letter a child will write, a way to learn about the arcane rituals of letter writing: the structure, the formal salutation and the use of a postcode.
