Its well-balanced blend of natural spices, which include blueberries, aniseed, cardamom, mace petals, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, orange and lemon peel, pimento and much more has made it the most popular mulled wine in Germany. We only use strong, dark red wine from the Montepulciano grape from Italy. Nuremberg mulled wine is under EU protection as a product of particular quality and excellence, which can only be manufactured in Nuremberg.

North Pole Postal Express Box - Letters to Santa Mailbox

It's here! The Woodstock Workshop's North Pole Postal Express Mail Box. This is a direct link to Santa at the North Pole. Kids can drop off a letter to Santa up to December 18th and Santa will take time to return a letter as long as Santa knows your return address.

 

Because Santa has a special staff of elves working every night during the Holiday Season making toys for the good boys and girls of Georgia at The Gifted Ferret, the elves will make sure to have a special team of reindeer from the North pole pick up Santa's mail nightly and deliver it to Santa.

 

Be sure to write Santa early so he can write you back before his Big Night, but remember to put your return address on the envelope! No postage is required because the Santa gets his mail sent directly from his reindeer team. Make sure Santa knows what you want for Christmas.
