Kids can get a letter from Santa this Christmas with the Royal Mail’s festive service
The Royal Mail has festive service ready for 2020 that's sure to put a smile on kids' faces. If they write a letter to Santa - he'll send one back from the North Pole!
We’ve been warned that Christmas won’t be the same this year.
Social restrictions will probably still be in place when December 25 arrives – meaning there’ll be rules on how many people we’re actually allowed to have around the table.
We may even be discouraged from visiting certain relatives if they live in a different area.
Yep. For us adults, it’s going to be a tricky year. But that doesn’t mean Christmas has to lose its magic for the kids.
The Royal Mail has a delightful festive service up-and-running for 2020 that’s sure to put a smile on youngsters’ faces.

If they write a letter to Santa – he’ll send one back from Santa’s Grotto!
The Royal Mail ‘Letters to Santa‘ service asks kids to send their post to the ‘Reindeerland’ before Friday 11 December, and Santa will respond with a letter of his own before the big day.

Parents should ask their children to:
Write Santa’s address carefully on the envelope
Put a stamp on the envelope so it gets to me
Include your full name and address in your letter
All letters should be addressed to Santa/Father Christmas, Santa’s Grotto, Reindeerland, XM4 5HQ.
So, no matter how weird Christmas might seem this year, at least the enchanting festive spirit can at least remain intact.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
